View From Above - Saskatoon Mountain, Alberta, Canada

Enjoy the view from atop Saskatoon Mountain without the drive! I set this one to a combination of peaceful guitar music and soothing bird songs. I hope you enjoy it!

Be sure to watch for the duration of the video. There's a couple of vehicles that come and go, kicking up dust from the gravel road in the process. You'll see a truck drive along the bottom left then make a turn and drive out of view at the very beginning. Later in the video, another vehicle makes the opposite trip.

As an aside, this little guy/gal came to see me just as I was setting up my camera to shoot the video of the lay of the land below. I quickly turned my camera around and caught him/her nibbling some seeds on the old stump before he/she disappeared back into the bush. I left it some almonds as a thank you when I was done recording my video. :-)

Deer Walks By - Soothing Native American Flutes and Birdsong for Meditation

Not much to say about this one. It may look like the middle of nowhere but I shot this over the fence of my parents' backyard in Medicine Hat, Alberta. In case you haven't put it together yet, we went down for a visit at the beginning of July, hence all the Southern Alberta videos. And there's still more to come. :-)

Not going to give specifics on the whereabouts, but here's the video. It turned out even better than I thought it would with a little creative audio editing. And just in case you're wondering, it's not the same as the deer video I shared in this post. That was a doe, a deer, a white tail deer (sorry, I couldn't help myself). Seriously though, this one is a mule deer buck.

I edited the video twice. Once with the flute above and another with only birdsongs and insect noises. You can watch that one here. BTW I'd love to hear from you which of these you prefer. Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments below!

Waves on the River

The latest in my videos shot that day we went down to the South Saskatchewan River at Police Point Park. This particular video was done on the suggestion of my son. He thought it would make for a great video. Guess he was right!

I tried to make a good balance between the sounds of the water and birds and the guitar music I selected. If you're interested, you can listen to both pieces of music at full speed (I slowed it down for a more relaxing and zen-like feel to the video).

The video was shot a little further down the river from where this photo was taken.

Once again, I can't stress enough how lucky the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta is to have such a wonderful natural area that runs through the city! For more info on the location you can use this handy map and go to the interpretive centre's page here -  http://www.natureline.info
