That image stuck to my head and was one of the first memories I ever had when I moved there.

One of the most impressive things that the human brain is capable of is the action of remembrance. Whether it be remembrance of specific settings or specific people, the human brain is capable of doing so because of effects placed on it due to the time the individual spent. Take remembrance of a certain location; locations can have many details in them that can affect the brain and cause it to intake the stimuli more than something else.
