There is nothing more melodic than the ocean! Thank you, Pete, you nailed it!

[@pjg54g]

Thanks! I’m still thinking about what to do about the wind noise though in places. Maybe just add some “ambient” sounds?

[@johnnierainey5761]

@@pjg54g Leave it like it is Pete, no need for embellishment.

[@mauricemoon2340]

Nature sounds good. I like it.

Ahhh the sound of the waves...Wonderful video of stunning New Zealand...On my bucket list... Regards from Shillong, India

[@pjg54g]

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your comment. Also, it is exciting to know you are in Shillong, India. I looked on the map to see where it is!🙂

[@BahFrancis]

Yes Pete, we are located in the foothills of the Himalayas with the heaviest rainfalls in the world. We are also blessed with an unimaginable beautiful nature and environment, very unlike other parts of India .. worth a visit when you have the time..

[@pjg54g]

@BahFrancis That sounds like a very special place and I would love to visit India one day.

[@pjg54g]

Fortunately Our neighbors are from India and are good friends. We love to talk to them and it’s the next best thing to visiting India!

At long last a vid without a silly music sound track - thanks!

[@pjg54g]

Thank you! Yes, a couple of my viewers said they wanted to hear real sounds not just music. Many Agree. I am about to upload another video about Queenstown New Zealand with a mix of music and sounds and would appreciate your comment on that. Pete

[@alikahraman1799]

Natural sound sounds better

[@pjg54g]

Thank you!

[@alecchristinebashford3980]

Much better without music

[@pjg54g]

Thank you for your comment. By popular request I have included as much of the natural sound as possible. Sometimes the wind noise is really loud and unpleasant so I put music over it, but only when I have to.

[@robinwatkins6775]

Natural wind ,panning Camara more pleasant
