Relaxing Sounds of Nature 5: 60 minutes of Woodland Ambience
60minutes of natural woodland ambience recorded live on site and which includes the sounds of a trickling stream and various birds native to the area. As the title suggests, this was filmed during one Spring morning in May, 2012 in the lush woodlands of Ridley Creek, Pennsylvania. It's one of my favorite places to visit and most of my nature videos are recorded here. You'll hear quite a decent variety of bird songs and bird calls such as a crow, Towhee, American Robin and more.
I wanted to capture the natural beauty and serenity of this woodland in the early morning and share it with you, with the hopes that it will bring you the same beauty, relaxation, peace and even rejuvenation that it brought me. It's my belief that moments like these should be shared, enjoyed and made accessible to everyone.

Amazing HD 2013 Wallpapers
It all began with traveling, and photography just kind of came along at some point. My first real holiday trip to foreign countries (Jordan, Thailand & Maldives) was in 1995. Then in 2001 I had my first exhibition in Bratislava. The same year I also founded my company: “Amazing Planet”.

Now I’ve done over 50 trips to over 100 countries on all the continents. For me, traveling to every single country in the world is not really that important. Instead, I want to travel to places that make me feel good and where I can find amazing nature. That’s what matters the most to me.

Nature as Wallpaper
Nature exists as little more than wallpaper in most people's lives. In the modern world we are surrounded by pretty green foliage with a few flowers for splashes of color, plus birds chirping pleasantly nearby and manicured ponds with ducks looking for breadcrumbs. It is all very quaint, but who really pays much attention to wallpaper?
At best, we are sometimes so taken with the scene of a rainbow after a storm or a butterfly visiting a flower that we pause for a moment to admire the walls of our world, but that is about as far as it goes. Some inspired individuals appreciate the scenery enough to seek out narrow wilderness paths where they can get a completely unobstructed view of the walls. But very few people ever make it beyond the paper.
The real world, as people experience it, is the world of people and culture. It is a world that we have built and it has real substance and action--buildings, cars, movies, parties, song and dance, and an endless stream of newsworthy events. With so much going on, why would anyone ever stop to investigate mere wallpaper?
Nature remains a two-dimensional pretty picture in our lives, only rarely broken by the magnificent buck that unexpectedly comes crashing through the walls to stand in front of us. For a second the world takes on an undeniable three-dimensional aspect, hinting that there is more beyond the walls. But the moment passes as quickly as it came, and nature returns to its two-dimensional normality. We look at our watches and continue on, eager to keep our appointments in the real world. But what might happen if we stopped to investigate the wallpaper?
When you learn the names of a few wildflowers and birds and rocks, then you will simply pay more attention to them. You will recognize the flowers and trees when you pass on the street or in the woods. No longer will you be able to ignore them as mere splashes of color on the walls, but as something you are familiar with, like seeing an old friend. The natural world becomes a bit more interesting, if only because you know something about it.
It is when you stop to say "hello" to this old friend that you begin to notice more of the hd wallpaper. "Who is this?" you wonder, and "Who is that?" Soon you may find yourself making herbal tea from some of those wildflowers, or adding edible greens to your salad.
But there is so much more to explore. Try learning to start a fire-by-friction using wood from the local trees, or making pots from clay you have dug up by the side of the road. Go camping without a sleeping bag or tent and make a warm shelter from the available sticks and grasses and bark. Make your own moccasins from animal skins you have tanned, and walk quietly through the woods feeling the earth beneath your feet. Catch a fish with your bare hands, or run down a mountainside just for the fun of it. The more you discover the natural world, the more you become a part of it.
The gap that separates people from nature is both immense and imaginary. It can take decades to bridge the gap, to truly know and feel that you are one with the earth. But in due time you may just wander off the beaten path and right into the wallpaper, meeting friends and neighbors as you go, until you are immersed knee-deep in a swamp-- catching bugs, following the birds to their hiding spots, and wondering what in the heck that unusual plant is just a little farther over there.
Years later you may find yourself in a meadow of wildflowers and wildlife-- even if it is just an vacant lot in the city-- surrounded by friends you have seemingly always known, only to look back and realize how far you have come. There in the distance is what you once called the real world, the world of people and culture. But now it seems like a house of smoke and mirrors, a place with bright lights and loud sounds, full of self-importance but empty of substance. The real world, you have discovered, was in the wallpaper all along.
