0Hi Teo,02br 02br 00In a bulk sense, these two sentences carry the same meaning. Imagine that you've just arrived at a camp site which is surrounded by green mountains, bright wild flowers, and a crystal–clear river lined with willow trees, you can use either one of your sentences to describe the place. “Here” can be interchangeable with “place” in many contexts.
