• *is quiet and sad*
• I meant to comment on this post last night, but I literally fell asleep listening to the soundscapes. They are beautiful, and it's a shame that many of these environments have been destroyed. Perhaps that is all the human race will be left with one day - a digital circus of sounds, images, and large animated recreations to marvel at.
• Great stuff but trying to access the archive proved unsurmountable.
• Silence Like Scouring Sand: One of America's quietest places, and the valiant effort to keep it that way.
• The sounds of tree frogs and howler monkeys in Costa Rica
• Years ago I shared a house with some friends, one whom brought home a tropical plant for the living room. We soon discovered a tree frog just like the wee red-eyed fellow in the first picture of Homie's link clinging to the plant. We built a terrarium for him(or her) and got in some live frog food from the pet store. Once in a while we'd hear froggy happily chirping away. In retrospect, froggie's chirping was probably a mating call, forever unrequited.
