wonderland

Oral histories written down or told over generations, “once upon a time”

This was our funny Graceland meets Michael Jackson joke…
Hmmm- This is the one that I didn’t feel certain belonged in the list. Although I suppose if we could do supernatural things, such as fly or walk through doors or teleport ourselves to alternate locations, I can imagine feeling like I could be a part of a wonderland. Also, extreme remote areas of nature conjur this thought. I bet if I could hire a submarine and descend into the south pacific to see ther earth tubes/vents. Or go into Mt. St. Helens - that could be a wonderland.

This seems like a space that is man made to exist as an escape. Could refer to a youthful perspective on an imaginary world…peter pan, where the wild things are. Very likely attached to a narrative or fable. Disneyland and the like play of the physical manifestation of these imagined spaces.

Same as dream land. Or perhaps, using the word to describe the word, a place that inspires wonder. Awe. Sublime. Charlie and the chocolate factory, where unicorns live, Roller-coasters, Narnia, or to go back further romantic literature or painting Casper David freidrich, Constable. etc.

Fire!

Flying over the Mid West, my family and I watched the forest fires occurring from our plane………..which was very different than watching them on tv.
