Boston, Massachusetts 4K - Walk at Beacon Hill - Fall Foliage ASMR

Autumn · Clear · 45 min · October 2023

Beacon Hill in autumn, when the foliage comes down onto the cobblestones and stays. This walk works the old cobbled streets and back alleys of the neighborhood, where the fallen leaves have collected into a loose golden blanket over brick and stone. Three-quarters of an hour in binaural 3D: city sounds underneath, leaf rustle up close, the dry particular sound of a season being walked through. Boston does fall color the way the postcards claim, and Beacon Hill is where the claim holds up best — old cobbles, quiet alleys, leaves with nowhere to go but down. If you have ever wondered what a fall day in New England is actually like, this is a fair answer. If you already know, this is the version you can keep. It runs well in the background for sleep or study, and better with the sound up, October or not, wherever you happen to be.

Best with headphones — the audio is true binaural. Watch on YouTube (recommended on TV).
