True, the location and related elements can all contribute to the sense of awe.

Few things are more awe-inspiring in my opinion than to look up on a clear, quiet night at the starry sky overhead. Being a New Yorker, you probably don't see the stars too often. The skies here are usually filled with humidity and city lights don't help make the shy any clearer, but at least I'm sure it's better than where you are.

I've thought of taking a vacation in one of those more remote locations in the country where the night sky is still relatively clear just for the experience.
