A Sense of Place

To me a sense of place is the feeling you get when you're there, the smells that later trigger memories of that place, the tastes, the textures. The little things that give you a true feeling for the place. 

In this photo, for example, you can see the condensation on the glass, you can tell it's a hot day and you get a feeling about the place.

In this photo you can imagine the taste, tastes can trigger memories.

Here, you can imagine the feeling of the bark. You can recall a time you touched it, a time when you got a splinter, a time when you carved your name.
