Wednesday’s Photos
Murmuring Brook
Last week I posted five images that I had taken of ice-free Heart Creek, which I interpreted as a sure sign of spring for our northern latitude. I experimented with long and short exposure times to show the different effects by creating the impression of flowing and ‘frozen’ water. These photos were generally well received by my blogging friends. Linda wrote in her comment that whenever she sees water in motion, she likes to hear the relaxing sound that goes together with a murmuring brook. I felt the same and so I went back to Heart Creek and shot the following video. Enjoy!

You don’t usually think of water as being so noisy! Maybe the microphone has enhanced the sound but it’s louder than murmuring here. Still, it’s clean and beautiful.

Rushing would be a better word than murmuring for this powerful spring run-off scene, Anneli.

I love to see and hear water in movement, I can understand Linda. That is why I make those wave videos at the Kattegat. Every time one goes there, it is different. The brook will be just like that, always depending how much water is flowing down. So good the ice has gone!

Yes, the ice is gone, but the nights are still very cold. I drove over to Vernon yesterday morning and it was -11 at the summit (1241 m). Brrr!

Yes, brrr indeed, but that is a high mountain. We still had night frosts until 3-4 days ago, so I hope this is it for now.

That’s wonderful, Peter; it’s the sound of snowmelt, for sure. It reminded me of a couple of lines from a Wendell Berry poem titled “Our Real Work”:
“The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.”

Kurz und kräftig, dein Video, Peter! Du magst Dich nicht aufdrängen.
Ich frag mich wie das klingt, wenn es in Zeitlupe oder beschleunigt aufgenommen wird.

I guess that the little streams dry up quickly in Greece where you have less rain.
