The Collections: Place

Morning; Venice, Italy

When we travel, we experience various aspects of where we go: the sights, the smells, the sounds, the tastes, the history.  Some images remain forever linked in our mind to a particular place and the feelings we had while we were there.  

Leech Park, Mississippi Riverfront; Bettendorf, IA

Even the places of our daily lives can have the same effect.  The thoughts and concepts we unconsciously associate with particular sites, even places we've never been, form our ideas about a place in a way that science is only beginning to explore, but that our human nature intrinsically understands.
