Beautiful Sunset Drive Through American Neighborhoods | Driving Sounds for Sleep and Study

Join us for a drive through Apex, North Carolina, another expansive section we charted last year but haven't explored until now. We still have plenty of footage from this large area to share in the future. One highlight of this video is the stunning pink sky we experienced. Capturing this breathtaking view was truly special. Plus, we've upgraded our Jeep for quieter operation, leading to a more soothing engine sound experience.
Here's our previous Apex drive for those who are interested: • Evening Drive Through ...
Disclaimer: Please note that the perceived speed of the driving tour in this video may appear faster than the actual speed due to the use of a 14mm lens, which can create an illusion of increased speed. In reality, the average speed maintained during the recording was approximately 9.54 mph. This calculation is based on covering a distance of 13.28 miles in 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 29 seconds. The purpose of this video is to showcase the scenic route, and we prioritize safety and responsible driving throughout.

You film these on your free time or have always times for doin this?

[@RelaxingWalks]

I work a full-time job and film these in my free time. It’s a way of unwinding after being in meetings all day.

[@debbiec6216]

@@RelaxingWalks I do know editing it , etc , all takes hours to do. I have friends who has their own KZbin channels.

[@RelaxingWalks]

@@debbiec6216 Absolutely, it's a comprehensive process. First, there's the route planning phase which includes uploading the routes to my Garmin devices. Subsequently, I manage a rotation of batteries and SIM cards. As part of this process, I transfer old footage to a series of hard drives for potential future edits and re-uploads. Next comes the journey to the filming location. Once there, I ensure all camera and audio equipment is operational and correctly set up - I always carry backup microphones and cameras for contingencies. Following the filming, the bulky files are transferred to my editing systems. This involves a detailed review of the entire video and all audio. During this phase, I rectify any audio clipping, perform color grading, insert titles, encode the video, etc. Once the editing and encoding is complete, I upload the finalized maps and video to Google and KZbin. Occasionally, this may require multiple attempts if there are any issues with KZbin. Each step is crucial to ensure a seamless end-to-end process. It's a multiple day process per video and pretty much consumes most of my extra free time when I factor in that I must study to keep up-to-date on technologies related to my full-time job. I basically work 16 hours a day every day 🥲. The KZbin stuff is fun though.

Those houses surely are beautiful and perfectly maintained but what shocks me as non-american is how empty the whole neighborhood looks: there's basically no one around, just a couple of guys with the dog and a child on his bike, the front yards are empty and it feels like the whole town is lifeless, just a giant diorama. Is it what an american neighborhood is supposed to be like? I'm confused.

[@RelaxingWalks]

Hello! Suburbs are just one facet of the diverse American living experience. While this neighborhood represents a quieter suburban setting, the USA boasts everything from bustling urban centers to serene rural landscapes. I typically select peaceful neighborhoods to showcase on this channel, aiming for relaxing walks and drives. However, it's essential to recognize the broad spectrum that exists: think urban, suburban, and rural, each offering a unique vibe and catering to different lifestyles.

[@Andrea-lj4jg]

@@RelaxingWalks Ok, so I guess people who choose to live in that kind of neighborhood prefer to spend more time inside home rather than outside, and developers build that way to meed the needs of those who are looking for that kind of lifestyle; now it makes sense. Thanks!

[@RelaxingWalks]

Indeed. I also carefully select times for a quieter ambiance during my walks and drives and often avoid crowded areas. If someone approaches me on the sidewalk, I'll cross the street. If there's a crowd ahead, I take an alternate route. Note that these neighborhoods prioritize safety; even someone with a camera can prompt a call to the police.

[@Andrea-lj4jg]

@@RelaxingWalks Thank you, since you've been so kind to answer me, I'd like to ask one last question 🙂 I noticed that in those neighborhoods the sidewalks often cut through the front yards and driveways, does that mean the sidewalks are basically private property, or that little slice of green grass between the sidewalk and the road is owned by the city? That's something you don't see here. Thanks!

[@RelaxingWalks]

@@Andrea-lj4jg I'm no expert, but these are called sidewalk easements which typically allows people access through the front of your property. Who owns or maintains these areas varies from state to state, etc.
