Ambient soundscapes

Not common to have 30 cm of snow so late in the spring. This is me walking in the snow.

Walking in thick snow

Hågaån has never had so much water as today after the heavy snowfall during the week. March 30, 2023.

Small creek overflowing after snow melts

Kvarnbo kvarn, an abandoned mill where grey wagtails breed, but today there was too much water even for the wagtails. March 30, Hågaån.

Waterfall by the abandoned mill

A long uncut version of a thunder storm with horses neighing and young tits calling before the rain intensified. Uppsala, July 30, 2023.

Thunder and horses neighing

Last week it has been raining almost every day, also with some nice thunder storms. The small creek close by has finally come back to life again after the presummer drought. Håga, Uppsala. August 4, 2023.

Water Is Life

Not a visual spectacle at all. In fact, nothing of the New Year's rockets could be seen but I have never before heard it as well as last night. Low clouds and light snowfall made the reverb excellent.
