Joe Conway Landscapes of the Sacred Post #2

In Landscapes of the Sacred, Lane describes landscape as "an effort of the imagination-a constructed way of seeing the world which is distinctive to a people, their culture, and even their anticipated means of encountering the holy." This description was spot on in the way i come up with landscapes in my head, mostly an imagined scene of an ideal image of whatever landscape i am thinking of. Whenever any landscapes come to mind, i picture the outline of the rockies in Colorado where i used to live. Seeing those mountains everyday became special to me and always seemed too majestic and big to be real to me. In my mind that landscape of mountains will always be somewhat affected by my imagination.
