longwood ambience

To the rear is a large paneled room- the ballroom. You hear some murmuring voices and a distant train whistle(?), and a snap at 12 and a half seconds which reverberates. We move through hallways- the whistle gets louder and we hear some other sounds- bird-whistles, a wood block. At 2:15 we are right at the source of the "train whistle", a hands-on exhibit of various air-powered devices explaining how pipe organs work. Kids are playing, pushing the buttons to make the sounds.

We move away down another hallway, passing back through the ballroom, and out into the conservatory, with the sounds of fountains. We pass unusual plants and more fountains, then round a back corner where there is some construction blocking our progress. You hear machinery whining.

I love it. Great atmosphere, it has it all. Barely intelligible voices, hissing, ringing bells! Well done!
