Boston Common — the trees still dripping on their own schedule

An afternoon at Boston Common, just after the rain has stopped. This is its own weather, distinct from rain and better in some ways: the paths still dark with it, the drip continuing under the trees on a private schedule, the city coming back out at street level. The Common handles wet afternoons well — it is old enough to have seen every kind. The sound was caught binaurally at walking height, right there among the paths — footsteps, water finding drains, the city easing back in around the green. Nothing in this one is dramatic. That is the offer. A public green on a spring afternoon, after weather, before dinner, with a city that sounds like it has decided to forgive the morning. Put it on when you want the feeling of having gone outside without the errand.

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