John Ruskin: geographer

"The spirit of the hills is action; that of the lowlands, repose; and between these there is to be found every variety of motion and of rest"

Daniel Raven Ellison recently gave a lecture at a location linked to the work of John Ruskin and that reminded me of his work, and links with Geography (Ruskin that is, not Raven-Ellison)

This source here, available online, has some nice geographical quotes and ideas.

I'm intrigued by his theory of landscape
