I'd like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

Our minds and memories are crowded with the common experience of nature.

Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.

Ultimately we need to recognize that while humans continue to build urban landscapes, we share these spaces with others species.

Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.

Memory is the fourth dimension to any landscape.

I am interested in the way that we look at a given landscape and take possession of it in our blood and brain. None of us lives apart from the land entirely; such an isolation is unimaginable.

I still don't know why, exactly, but I do think people can have a spiritual connection to landscape, and I certainly did in Iceland.

Places seem to me to have some kind of memory, in that they activate memory in those who look at them.

If I could have gone on describing to you the beauties of this region, who knows but I might have made a fine addition to the literature of our age?
