	Spirit of place - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spirit of place refers to the unique, distinctive and cherished aspects of a place; often those celebrated by artists and writers, but also those cherished in folk tales, festivals and celebrations.
		It is thus as much in the invisible weave of culture (stories, art, memories, beliefs, histories, etc) as it is the tangible physical aspects of a place (monuments, boundaries, rivers, woods, architectural style, rural crafts styles, pathways, views, etc) or its interpersonal aspects (the presence of relatives, friends and kindred spirits, etc).
		For instance, one could sensibly apply 'sense of place' to an urban high street; noting the architecture, the width of the roads and pavements, the plantings, the style of the shop-fronts, the street furniture, etc. - but one could not really talk about the 'spirit of place' of such an essentially urban and commercial environment.

	Chapter One: Spirit of Place
		Everyone has their own idea of what makes a place special, and usually one's own relationship with a certain place is enough to make it sacred to them.
		Places where ghouls are present can also be yin places which, like fl streams, may become charged with harmful energies because people associate those sites with negative experiences.
		Ghouls and other place memories can also lead to a sense of a certain place being "holy" or "sacred." Not all of these power places are nice places to be.

	The Spirit of Place and Othe Essays - Spirit
		The spirit of place, which is to be seen in the shapes of the fields and the manner of the crops, to be felt in a prevalent wind, breathed in the breath of the earth, overheard in a far street-cry or in the tinkle of some fl-smith, calls out and peals in the cathedral bells.
		The untravelled spirit of place--not to be pursued, for it never flies, but always to be discovered, never absent, without variation--lurks in the by-ways and rules over the towers, indestructible, an indescribable unity.
		And if by good fortune it is a child who is the pilgrim, the spirit of place gives him a peculiar welcome, for antiquity and the conceiver of antiquity (who is only a child) know one another; nor is there a more delicate perceiver of locality than a child.

	Pokkoli - The spirit of place
		The spirit of place may reside in a feature of the landscape, in a quality of the climate, in an animal or plant of the natural or mythic habitat, in the character of a people still thriving in or long since vanished from that place, or in an artefact passed down to us through time.
		The spirit of place, often unnoticed and unquestioned, nourishes our roots, our connection to past times and places and acts upon our imagination whenever we set off from home intent on new discoveries.
		Through exercises, readings, and discussion, participants will consider how place is a physical landscape which touches a deep-rooted desire, and a poetic landscape that exiles all writers as they seek out the mysterious in order to find the familiar.

		Thomas Moran and the Spirit of Place, which includes 42 watercolors, prints, and oil paintings from the DMA and Dallas private collections, spans a major portion of the artist's career, from early views of Yellowstone in 1872 to mountainous scenes painted in California in 1922.
