Relaxing walk thru Boston Chinatown | Foggy Night Ambience [4K Cozy City Sounds]

A night walk through Chinatown and the Financial District in Boston, on a foggy evening just after a light rain storm. The rain has moved on and left the streets to themselves. Fog does something particular to a city at night — it shortens what you can see and lengthens what you can hear — and a binaural microphone holds up both ends of that bargain. Office towers that fill the sky by day become suggestions of towers. At street level the neighborhood stays awake around you, quietly. Nothing happens here, which is the point. Forty minutes through two districts, camera and microphones out in the fog with everything else. Some will sleep to it, some will keep it behind their work; the fog serves either, and asks nothing back.

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