ば
opportunity, occasion
Earth with the sun coming up over it. On its own it thins out: not the address, the occasion, and the room it happened in. The same bar ば where all the gen is in 現場: ば.
場所 ばしょ is the physical place. 場 alone leans towards the occasion: その場で, on the spot. ところ is the loose everyday place.
