If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

After taking some photos in the late afternoon at Remarkable Rocks I came back to the lighthouse cottage at Cape de Couedic and listened to Alison Krauss recent A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection whilst drinking a big SA red.

It was the first time I heard Alison Krauss apart from the Cohen Brothers O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack:
The 'A Hundred Miles Or More' album is a long way from the earthy, rollicking bluegrass roots of her Union Station band and you wouldn't know that she and Union Station were bluegrass' leading light in the '90s. It's a collection of solo Alison Krauss songs from various artist's albums or movie soundtracks. I was lukewarm as some of the material lurches towards the middle of the road and lacks the depth of a Gillian Welch.
