A stark recording of a bunch of northwest winds whipping through a small town. This was recorded in December 17th 2013 during the height of the frenzy of the holiday season. I think that it why I enjoy this recording so much -- the lonely yet comforting desolate wind in contrast to the frenetic sensory overload that the holidays can sometimes be.

The wind chimes are a nice touch too.

Recorded on my front porch using my Zoom H4N recorder and it's internal stereo microphones with the record volume on 80

Great sounds! Thanks for taking the time to make such high quality recordings.

I notice in some of your recordings a faint beep every second or two in the background. It's not always a consistent rate either. Not sure what it is.
