112: Distant Thunder At Shastine Crater

112: Distant Thunder At Shastine Crater

Author: Sound By Nature August 4, 2022 Duration: 1:23:00

This was recorded on a warm summer afternoon at Shastine Crater as distant thunderstorms passed by then slowly drifted away. I was hoping to catch the thunderstorms as they passed overhead, but unfortunately I was a little late. Nevertheless I am happy with what I was able to get and I hope you enjoy it.

This recording is a little more quiet than usual so you may need to turn the volume up a bit. Also, there are some buzzing insects on this recording which are abundant in the forest at this time of year, I hope you don't mind too much.

Sometimes the most profound moments come from simply listening to the world outside our windows. Sound By Nature is an invitation to pause and immerse yourself in the authentic acoustics of the natural world, curated into thoughtful audio experiences. Each episode is a dedicated soundscape, free from narration or music, capturing everything from the gentle patter of rain in an old-growth forest to the distant crash of ocean waves at dusk. It’s a resource for recentering, whether you need a backdrop for deep work, a tool for meditation, or a gentle path into restful sleep. This podcast draws from the fields of acoustic ecology and environmental science, presenting these recordings not just as ambient noise, but as a connection to the intricate and often overlooked sound environments that surround us. Tune in, put on your headphones, and let the raw, unedited symphony of the planet provide a much-needed respite from the clutter of daily life.
