A Sense of Place

I noticed today that it was a year ago since I posted A Sense of Place to a GoGeomatics blog (November 26, 2020).

Reading it over, I still agree with Robert Bateman’s Preface from “Islands in the Salish Sea“, ’In our global, packaged world we are losing our sense of place’.


This week, I realized too, under COVID conditions, I am losing my technical skills. Fortunately, Kyle from Bridgetown Computers was able to reset the network password for my printer.

Following the recent assessment of our Honda CRV, we are investigating electric cars. This includes a charging station at home. In turn, this could lead to additional solar panels on the garage roof. Right now, we have been unable to find an electric car to test drive.

After the first heavy frost, this morning, we walked down to the Annapolis River and through to the Lawrencetown nursery. At home, we discovered that the ticks are still out there.


David Maclean at COGS forwarded information about GIS Day, November 17th. You can register for the digital celebration.

Topics include Climate Change; Sustainable Prosperity; Racial Equity and Social Justice; Lifelong Learning. Watch the short video by Jack Dangermond, Esri.


In closing, a photograph of our Lady Di clematis. still flowering in the garden, early November.

    Thanks for this.

    FYI, we will be making a brief presentation at the ACFA AGM on Wednesday night at the Centrelea Community Hall.

    Following this, I will send you a copy of the presentation and other info and then we can arrange a time for a chat.
