In satisfying our instinct to find shelter, we are distracted from our "modern" troubles. Does that sound cold and emotionless? That's okay, cause I'll be dry now...

So please don't be too upset next time it rains

Because it'll be gone before you know it!

Turns out there's an animated short for this as well!

It's raining here right now.

It's the first proper rain in months.

I love the rain.

(How could I forget an entire word D:)

I only ever get sea sick on gentle waters for some reason.

This is the perfect song to listen to on a rainy day, in my opinion:

Rain in my country. :(

I lived the first part of my life out in the desert and learned to regard rain with a kind of awe. I'd run to put my face against the window and watch it when it rarely came.

These ones, I took. My pictures are usually fucked up though, cause I'm always wanting to capture things in low-light situations. A lot of them are so grainy they're unusable.

Just took a look through this thread and wanted to say that I enjoyed several of these. 7960 is pretty; 8070 looks almost exactly like a Romantic pastoral. Very nice.

these are lovely Op, thanks for sharing

Beautiful pictures, thank you for posting them.

Is this worth watching? The character designs put me off a bit

a while ago while watching Kaiba, i learned never to judge an anime based on its character design...

>>8140
very true.

>>8130
the character design really is off putting at first, but you'll soon think less about it once character development starts giving these moe cardboard cutouts a life of their own.

but the best thing about the show definitely is the setting, and the way they tell it. bits and pieces of the setting and culture are interspersed in between normal everyday dialogue without any sort of dramatic tone as if it's plain common sense. it's refreshing.

I recommend watching the first four episodes.

You will know what you're worth.

You've just got to take the pressure, together.

Or you'll never survive in this world.

Just how far can you fall

When you still feel so small.

Will you love me through the sorrows, tomorrows,

Whatever the future will bring

I am currently collecting this thread songs. Thanks for your very good selections! (I am still not quite sure about the Madonna one... :p Had some fun with it this semester!)

"Odal" by Agalloch, off their 2002 masterpiece "The Mantle".
Many of their musical themes are inspired by landscapes, nature, folklore and other /yuu/ material. I love them, YMMV

I recommend the game too. It's very scenic.

i don't have any thing that i cant really contribute to /yuu/ as i got almost everything i have from here

Not a specific song, but more an online radio station. Some of you may have already heard of it - Bluemars. 3 different stations, three different varieties of ambient music, all of them very nice. Just pure music, no commentary or advertisements.

I was searching for other ambient, experimental or musique concrète radio stations and found "Outer Limits" from Netherland's Radio 6. Quite nice, atmospheric and explorative.

Those were pretty nice.

Thanks for contributing, friend. If you have more and are willing to spend the time posting them, please go ahead.

You have a keen eye for the detail which often escapes others. Personally I usually prefer wide, sweeping vistas (see my picposts), but thanks for drawing our attention to the minutiae of our visual experience. Your subject matter gives us a different way of seeing, which is what it's all about. All the same, I wouldn't like the site to become a dumping ground for the 'Guess who's got a new camera' crowd.

>>8054

When people contribute their own pictures to the board, I don't see it as them showing "who's got a new camera". I see it as a person trying to give something back to a place which has given so much. Plus, is that not what the Scenic Route is about? Going somewhere new? By having users who produce original content on a constant basis, we will always find ourselves travelling to new places while also keeping our community strong and happy.

I like this place the way it is now. Half art, half contributions by users. Alot of people here have a good eye for photography. It would be nice though if we had some painters, but then you can't have everything.

Well, I guess I have gotten mixed reviews, but since more was requested, I will gladly post some more.
>>8054
Actually, I have had my current camera for over a year. My father gave it to me as a high school graduation present because I had outgrown my old point-and-shoot but if you look at the image properties you can see some of them were from quite a while ago while others are more recent.

Here's some grass.

Fair comment, Anon. The board should be open to all users who wish to share visual stimuli that mean something to them. I guess I was concerned about keeping the quality high, but a look around this board will show that's not a problem. As for artwork, I have some personal efforts I'll be putting up here soon.

Here's a road. I'm not certain where it was.

Thank you Lifelover.

This was taken from a plane.

This is Spicer's Falls in New York State.
I'm not sure if it will post in the proper rotation, but one could always rotate the monitor manually if it was quite necessary.

I was joking about the monitor, sort of. I see the picture has not rotated properly though sigh

Anyway, here's a piece of wood and that's all for tonight.
