Four minutes in a light rain shower on the island of Vartiosaari, Helsinki, Sat June 7th 2014 in the early afternoon. Recorded on a Tascam DR-2d, hand-held recorder using built in stereo mics.
Vartiosaari is 200 metres from the city but almost completely wild, with just a few houses, no street lighting, no cars and no roads. You get to it by boat. It is a beautiful place which needs to be kept as it is for everyone's benefit. There are plans to build on it.
The petition to save it in its current beautiful state is here, please sign it.
