Scully’s character encompasses all the traditional

The wide-angled overhead continues, and the film title emerges as the camera lifts up and over the craggy cliffs and shoreline of rural Ireland; our sense of place reinforced by a backing of cheery Celtic flute music. The opening credits continue to roll as the camera glides over a lush green, hilly landscape, accented by late afternoon silhouettes of the partial cloud cover, and perhaps best described by
Place is a meaningful location socially and geographically that is carved by people, communities and culture; and which gives place an identity.

I opened the door of my apartment’s rooftop on a relaxing Sunday morning. Lying on a sun lounger without goals and urges, I started to think about how we comprehend the world through different senses, and decided to experience the environment on my own.

Approximately: it is a form of experience - the "presence of absence"; exhilarating differences between the plane and the cavern, between the street and your living room; symmetries and dissymetries emphasizing the spatial properties of my body: right and left, up and down.
