A Sense of Place

Place
1. A particular portion of space whether of definite or indefinite extent.
2. Space in general
3. A specificf portion of space normally occupied by anything
4. a region or area

Place is basically a set of surroundings. When involved with the senses this includes what one can see, smell, hear, and touch. Place can also influence what one thinks. What associations can one draw when in contact with a place? Physical places can take one's mind into thinking about areas that have a common ground with one's physical surroundings. Moreover, these physical places can take one into a mental place; however, the mental place changes from individual to individual because one's own experiences shape what we percieve and how it is interpreted.
