Hi.
This soundfile was recorded on 03.06.2017 in Szczecin, NW Poland (Gumience district to be precise). The time of this recording is from around 3 a.m. (when the sun was allready rising) till around 7:30 a.m. What's funny about that, is that I turned my recorder on and layed it on the windowsill (display up) on altitude around 5 meters (first floor), (the recorder is facing NE direction) because the birds were allready going crazy!, and after some time I felt asleep, and the recorder was left on. There are many many kinds of birds around, cause there is a big cementery near by, with lots of trees, and some wild fruit orchard too. I had this one moment, when the birds were so active, that let's say they spinned it me around, and worked me up to a beautifull spiritual moment with their sounds, and then i felt asleep. Later through the recording you can hear me snoring, you can hear my alarm clock going on (and that haven't woken me up too;). The bass resonance of cars passing by makes this recording a bit heavy in some places, and the wind made it's mark too, but that shoudn't be a big of an issue here. As I listen to it now, so much things happened while I was asleep...[ 3:30 a.m.!: some people are singing and speaking, and you can clearly hear one of them saying: "Kurwa, Grubo", which means - "F**k, heavy". Later on, the neighbours weren't sloppy too;). Hearing such recordings doesn't give you the liminous feeling of the place where it was recorded. You only get audio here, not the vision, the light, the brightness, the movement, the actions, and the space, the physical elements, only the best can imagine (So if you don't have such an imagination, PM me and I can send you a photo of the place where all this took place). Anyway, I hope that the birds will keep rockin' their solos, and the bees will keep visiting all the flowers around forever! (Who knows, I might become one of them sometime;)

Thanks and have a good listening session.

naturally, I know nothing of you beyond this beautiful recording, but I feel a strong compulsion to thank you for it. your description of it is a joyous thing to read.. the details included in your account of the morning and subsequent afternoon add immensely to the 'rounding out' of the moments. I have since looked at images of the —guess work— cemetery and it nearly brought me to tears. from one stranger to another, thank you.

Thank you for sharing this. My maternal grandmother Anna Lehnhardt migrated from Szczecin (formerly Stetten Am Oder) to Saginaw, MI, USA as a child around the turn of the century. Although I've had some success with Ancestry.com tracking down some general information about that side of the family, I have never traveled there. I'd like to think that I still have cousins there, but as far as I know, I am the only surviving member of that branch of the Lehnhardt family tree. But at the very least, thanks to you, I get to hear what it sounds like over there.

This is the type of recordings I enjoy the most.
Long morning recordings during dawn.
