Camera person

Description of the recording place
The place is the garden of our house which is situated near Quartie S.E. (a part of Cagliari but a town of it's own) not very far from the city beach of the "Poetto" direct at the Golf of Cagliari


Description of the location
It's the garden separated by a little white wall. In the lower part is a little pool (the garden has a down-slope towards the sea - the house stands in the rear about 4 m above sea level). The wall in the background separates the beach from the garden


What is special to the choosen location
One of those little paradises close to the town direct at the water which you can't recreate anymore


What does the recording show
Gardensite towards the Golf of Cagliari


What can be heard
Wind and the waves, in the background the noise of the coastal street


What happend at your location on the 9th of September
Nice warm day, a little windy


What happend in your country on the 9th of September
The usual discussion about the tax reform program and the mafia accusation against Andreotti


Personal commentary
Unfortunately the sound of the wind is much louder than the sound of the waves - although I chose the most protected place. Another thing was the reflecting sea and the bright sky which leaves for my point of view the green vegatation of the garden to much in the dark. Besides I would have like to have more movement in the sky, but there were no cloud formations moving back and forth
