The landscape swells

Appreciating a familiar landscape goes way beyond the beauty of a backdrop. Ted Leeson explains this beautifully.

“Place and experience become reciprocal touchstones, each authenticating the other. The landscape swells with the meaning of what has been lived there, and the shape of that living has, in turn, been molded by the place. The landscape no longer exists as a backdrop or setting but as a medium of experience, a material from which the occasion is fashioned, a character in the story of life” Ted Leeson, Jerusalem Creek.

    1. Thank you Bob. I do have “Inventing Montana” as well as “Habit of Rivers” and “Jerusalem Creek”. Magnificent books and amongst my all time favorites.
