A space to discuss the tools and spatial patterns with which to better understand the current process by which new global practices sustain, produce, and define the emergence of locality, identity, and landscape in the twenty-first century

Welcome to our Cultural Geography Blog!
Greetings Everyone!
You have successfully located our blog dedicated understanding the composition of landscape and cultural practices.
In what ways might it be said that this photograph contains a landscape that is both local and global?
The view of the beautiful mountains is definitely local. Some people would say also Safeway. Global could be the materials; America buys a significant amount of plastic and steel from around the world and not necessarily uses its own resources. I see reflector cones, power units, and vehicles parts or materials to make those parts whose materials probably didn’t all come from America.
Excellent Jesse, Yes, here is a great deal of global development in this image. The refined oil in the gas station perhaps originating in the trans-Alaskan pipeline, yet here owned by Safeway, is also an interesting way in which the local and global are deeply intertwined. Is the local in this photo thus only perceptible in the mountain terrain?
