I get a similar feeling sometimes (read: only this very moment, and just because you mentioned it) when I walk around my campus. With such an imbalanced ratio of forested acres to pavement, I often feel as though the woods of Lorien have encroached upon northern Jersey. Especially in the fall, when the leaves take on a more mallornesque hue. They don't call my school "The Forest" for nothing. But yes, I understand what you mean completely - although that sumthin' sumthin' takes on a more dendrophilic slant here.
