It depends on the context: this question cannot be answered without knowing how "land" is used relative to other words in the sentence or phrase. "Land" could be a direct object, but it could also be a subject, an indirect object, a verb, or the object of a preposition.
Examples:
Direct object: Sam owns land in Virginia.
Subject: The land kept me there long after I should have left.
Indirect object: Give the land your respect.
Verb: The pilot is ready to land the plane.
Object of a preposition: We flew over water and over land.
object
"You were in the mountains" does not have a direct object.
The verb does not have a direct object in the sentence, "She is insecure."
There is no direct object in that sentence.
A transitive verb takes a direct object.
The verb "land" is transitive when it is used with a direct object. For example, in the sentence "She landed the plane," "plane" is the direct object of the verb "land." However, "land" can also be used as an intransitive verb when it does not take a direct object. For example, in the sentence "The plane landed," there is no direct object.

The verb does not have a direct object in the sentence, "She is insecure."

"You" can be either a direct or indirect object: It is a direct object in "I want to kiss you." It is an indirect object in "Henry is going to give you the tickets."
Yes !! it is a direct object!!
A direct object follows a transitive verb.
A noun as a direct object? Jack ate the cake. - noun direct object = cake She brought lunch for her sister. - noun direct object = lunch
In the sentence "Your visit to the museum was educational", "visit" is the direct object. An indirect object would typically receive the direct object, such as in the sentence "I gave her a gift" where "her" is the indirect object receiving the direct object "gift".
Any noun or pronoun can be a direct object. A direct object is a function of a noun or a pronoun, not a type of noun or pronoun.
