Thanks Gary, an interesting and touching read. I have similar affective responses when visiting the rivers in NZ where we used to swim as kids. All closed more often than open now.

Thanks Warren. Yes your NZ experience is similar to mine. It's a kind of depression arising from the pain and distress experienced by witnessing one's home environment being destroyed or changed in unwelcome ways that, in turn, alters our sense of place.
