Identity of Place



"A sense of place is the sixth sense, an internal compass and map made by memory and spatial perception together." 
- Rebecca Solnit

Identity and a sense of place circulate in memory filled with sensory imagery.

A whiff of fragrance.
    A taste of familiar.
        A fondness for family.
             A relationship of some kind.

All float through the mind.  Symbols abound to etch ideas.

A grounding occurs.   
            A starting point. 
                     A memory triggers a perception.




An observation of the landscape shapes feelings.  A place tugs and begs a return again and again.


Temperament and terrain combine.
