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.

looking for something firm in a world of chaotic flux

December 12, 2007

A large part of the Wilson Promontory trip was spent traveling in the car from Adelaide to Wilsons Promontory and then back again. As it was two days each way, so we spent half the holidays viewing the landscape from the perspective of a car passing through landscapes, cities and places.

Slowly I realized that we were now seeing the landscape differently---the frame was the car window and our experiences in the car were just as much a part of 'getting away' from work as the walking amongst the bush and along the beaches in Wilsons Promontory.

It's become a normal way of seeing the country:

It took me a while to get into the 'from the car window' groove----on the drive back to Adelaide actually. It proved hard to get the shots traveling at high speed.
