Thinking about Place:
Orang Utan = people jungle /people (of the) jungle. Our guide said to us we know there are people in the jungle but we don't know how many of them are people of the jungle.There are Orang in the jungle but we don't know how many are Orang Utan. The jungle belongs to the Orang Utan, it is their place. The large male appeared slowly and deliberately swinging from branch to branch. He sat on the feeding platform and surveyed us, there was an air of peace and calm. We were in the presence of royalty. This was his place.
Place is different from location. Location is where we happen to be. Place moves as we move. Sense of place includes the feel of place and the feeling for place.
