Solstice

Ancient sites such as Stonehenge fascinate people across the world, with many questions about how and why these structures were created. 

One theory is that they were deliberately aligned to the celestial objects we see in our skies - the sun, the moon, and the stars.

In this episode of Spotlight, we speak to skyscape archaeologist Dr Fabio Silva about the role of the sky for ancient societies and what it can tell us, as well as discussing his new project at Stonehenge during a rare lunar standstill.

Lake Puurijarvi in is surrounded by soils and forests and is just so remote wilderness that's possible in South Westerly Finland.  Man made noise, mostly from big trucks of nearby farmers, will though be heard even here. There's also a dam with flowing water, which is the background sound in this recording. (The picture)

Recorded in late evening after sunset, Whooper Swans are shouting and different species of Goose are coming to the lake over night. I waited for the cranes to come, but the best time of migration was already gone. A flock of one thousand appeared, but passed without any calls.

And to be listened with headphones only, as all spaced omni recordings ;-

Taiga Noise - 27/9/2017 - Lake Puurijarvi

The Grey Barn in Leistila Fields with wind from East. The wind was only 6-8 m/s, that's not much, but the sound inside was huge, overwhelming. A flock of Jackdaws was on a field nearby, so also some chirps from unidentified small birds can be heard in the background. Listen with headphones only!

The Barn - 8/10/2017 - with Wind from East

The sad song from a flock resting Whooper Swans ready to head away from the freezing coast of Makholma Bay. Recorded under the roof of an old fishermans hut of corrugated steel with wind blowing through in Makholma village harbor. The last small piece of free water was frozen next day and the swans were gone.  

And as with all recordings done with spaced omnis; headphones recommended!
