I am revisiting one of my favourite scenes in Poul Anderson's Technic History and finding that I have already quoted it three times:
We know Gray and Falkayn Bay and the mixed vegetation of Avalon. Poul Anderson conveys a sense of place as some mainstream writers have been able to do for London, Paris, Dublin etc and as Poul and Karen Anderson did for Ys.
The time for walking across town to the Chinese New Year concert approaches.

Poul did have a talent for making alien environments physically real -- and historical ones, too.
