Title: water
Post by: underclass on June 15, 2009, 10:09:40 AM: I love and miss the sound of water. It totally relaxes me. I grew up spending every weekend at a beach house and hearing rain fall on my roof. These days I'm stuck in a concrete box in Tokyo and I miss being around running water a lot. When it rains (like tonight, massive storms) open a couple of windows and just listen to it fall outside with a glass of wine.

Yes, I know I need to get out of the city. Soon... soon.

Anyone else the same?

Post by: Tru on June 15, 2009, 12:41:22 PM: I have several nature sounds files, thunderstorms, rain and birds that I often like to play on a loop while sleeping. Yeah I find the rain sounds quite relaxing as well.

Post by: hip on June 15, 2009, 12:55:50 PM: having grown up on the cape, i don't ever see myself being able to live far from the ocean. it's a thirty second drive to the bay from my apartment, and about a 2 minute one to get to the atlantic. i could never give it up. it's too beautiful, too relaxing. standing at the ocean's edge with the waves lapping at your feet in the sand-- that's a good sound right there.

Post by: FAH-Q on June 15, 2009, 04:46:17 PM: I live within a few minutes' drive of hundreds of beaches, yet rarely bother going. That said, I know what Nick means about comforting sounds. Rain on a galvenized roof sounds awesome, and I always feel like something's missing when I go away and don't hear crickets and tree frogs at night.

Title: Re: water
Post by: FAH-Q on June 15, 2009, 05:40:00 PM: Nah. If I stand on my porch, I can see a little bit of the sea. From my roof, I can see a bunch of it. But it's a little over two blocks away from my house.

Post by: ttfg on June 15, 2009, 06:10:07 PM: I was expecting larger sand masses. Stupid I know.
Title: Re: water
Post by: psychopathetic on June 15, 2009, 06:13:47 PM: actually, just thinking about that sound is making me dizzy right now. to the point of feeling like i should probably go lay down.

They're around, just not on that exact piece of shoreline.

Post by: underclass on June 15, 2009, 08:18:30 PM: I think for me it's part of the "grass is greener" syndrome. I'm based in Minato in Tokyo, about 500 yards from the Tokyo tower and have a pretty sweet life in terms of work, marriage, fun etc. This town is great to be in when you're young for sure. Just miss the water sometimes.

Yes, there are ponies on the beach.. awesomeness.

You can see Assateague in the beach scene of the movie Wedding Crashers..

Post by: underclass on June 18, 2009, 01:33:44 AM: that looks beautiful. I hope Global Warming doesn't wash it away.

I had never heard of it, but "Ocean City" sounds sweet
Title: Re: water
Post by: Joygasm on June 18, 2009, 01:23:20 PM: They do beach replenishment every four years to try to keep up. Assateague is a state and national park so it's all natural with only the dunes to protect it. Only time will tell.

Title: Re: water
Post by: Joygasm on June 18, 2009, 02:01:00 PM: Hahaha! Well, the inlet (shown south of the top pic) was created by a hurricane in 1933. Never had a bad one since, except Gloria, which took the boardwalk apart in the 80's.
