On the basis of a theoretical socio-ecological and socio-existential discussion, together with a rootedness approach and a Phenomenology of the landscape, it is posed a discussion and analysis from two approaches to the "sea" and the "mountain": Georg Simmel´s AEsthetics and Gaston Bachelard´s poetics. Looking for convergences and divergences, both analysis and discussion help to enrich the understanding of the human dwelling and the environment as a whole.   Keywords: sea, mountain, rootedness, landscape, Simmel, Bachelard.
