colored air

April 18, 2020. Sunset 7:48 PM.
San Francisco, CA.

Cloudless sunset. Just a transition of colored air. Two bells performed by guest ringers. Listen. From my recording spot down on the corner, I got so excited when I heard another bell join the big bell that I forgot to take a photo. This one is of the twilight.
Thank you, Elisabeth and Richard for joining us this evening!

The other corner. Less windy. Friendly conversation. Listen.
Showing the mic and recorder I've been using to make the recent stereo recordings to Chloe.

Sheltering in the bushes

April 16, 2020. Sunset 7:46 PM.
San Francisco, CA.

Sheltering from the wind. The best spot I've found for recording is crammed between two bushes in front of someone's house. Listen. I'm a lurker - hoping nobody walking by will notice me standing there. The skate boarder was an extra treat this evening.

Day 24

April 14, 2020. Sunset 7:45 PM.
San Francisco, CA.

Clear sky, air, streets. Radio in a neighbor’s window. Duckling procession of family on bikes heading up the hill.

Light car and foot traffic passing by the corner. (It sounds lovely from here)

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrated today. Simple evening with a long plane and a big bell. Far away. Listen

Easter Sunrise over the Himalayas

Easter day, sun peeps over the Himalayas.

Sunrise near Keylong, Himachal Pradesh, India.
It is 5:56 AM.
Photo taken by my friend Tsunma Kalden.
This is the view from "the cave in the snow".
This is where Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo did her 12-year retreat.
The environment says it all. Quietly.
Peace. Solitude. Love. Meditate.
