Sense of Place
 
 

What are the elements of a sense of place? 

What makes these sites have power of inspiration and teaching? This is something to ponder a bit.

For Hunter’s point, there is the triple peninsula--the UP, the Keweenaw and the Hunter’s Point itself--each reaching more to the north. The word point captures this vulnerable compelling focus. There is the coast which is apocalyptic and often turbulent.

For the Green Rock there is also the human dream of riches and the pot at the end of the rainbow. 

For Brockway there is the ridge and the perspective view of peninsula.

All of these places exhibit the fundamental geological pattern of dipping layers---these are the basis for the peninsulas, the ridges, the coasts.
