Place bloggers write, on one level, about the place where they live: its ecology, its beauty, the particular quality of nature in that place, and their relation to it. On another level, place bloggers are concerned with larger questions of ecology and land use, the future of the environment, and human beings' relation to (or alienation from) the world we inhabit and share. And on a still deeper level, many place bloggers are exploring the whole notion of "place" itself: where and what is this elusive idea of "place", in its broadest sense, and what does it mean to us as spiritual beings in perpetual search of something called "home"?

I think there are probably lots of ways we can describe blogging place. Here are a few that come to mind:

• logs of natural activity and cycles, including flora and fauna, geological and meteorological notes, sometimes with description, sometimes without.
• weblogs that are collections of stories of the writer's engagement with a place, including the land and culture of a place.
• notes on the particular character of a place, which may be purely sociological. For instance a blog that discusses the culture of an area would be a place blog, but it's a blog about the noosphere and not the biosphere.
• photoblogs that aim to capture the essence of place, like Hunkabutta and the plethora of Japan based blogs kept mostly by visiting westerners.
