    "There are increasing numbers of people making their own homes similar to ours. They are making some beautiful, accessable and highly functional houses. The more people who do, the more inspiration and support there will be for the next ones, as we owe ours to those who came before us."

    "Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are."

    ~ Osho { remember "The Big Muddy Ranch" ? }

    Tips :
    *Play birds on ‘Random’, to prevent endless chirping.
     Try setting it to 600 

    *The Arrow Button adds more player channels, up to 7 per player. 

    *Add multiple instances of Sensiri to your page to get more sounds.
     

    *Don’t forget the onboard help, just click ‘F1′. 

    *The display button right of help brings up track and timing data. 

    Sit back and enjoy your ambient soundscape.

    "I am Russian, but I live in Vancouver, BC. I started taking snapshots 5 years ago to document my travels. After registering on DeviantArt, I began the slow improvement in the middle of which you find me today. I need to keep getting better, I think my photos still need lots of improvement." WestCoastScapes

    ""Transport IV," from the Gallery of Eric J. Heller. Explanation of image, as taken from Heller Gallery: The Transport series renders electron flow paths in a "two dimensional electron gas" (2DEG), Inspired by the experiments of Mark Topinka, Brian Leroy, and professor Robert Westervelt at Harvard.

    Our group was responsible for the theoretical treatment of the problem, primarily Scot Shaw, and myself. Transport VI is based on the actual electron flow patterns for electrons riding over a bumpy landscape, which is what they encounter in the 2DEG. The electrons have more than enough energy to ride over any bump in the landscape, and the concentrations of electron flow seen here are unexpected indirect effects of that bumpy ride.

    The channeling or branching was a surprise and has serious implications for small electronic devices of the future. Transport VI is an excellent example of the wonderful way nature emulates herself in different contexts. Thus, the folding of the electron trajectories is like looking through translucent kelp, or like ridges on a mountain."

    Pollination: it's vital to life on Earth, but largely unseen by the human eye. Filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg shows us the intricate world of pollen and pollinators with gorgeous high-speed images from his film "Wings of Life," inspired by the vanishing of one of nature's primary pollinators, the honeybee.
