If you have been following our site, you will know that we at Earthwaves are more than slightly obsessed with water. This is hardly surprising, given that the substance is essential for life but also has a spiritual quality as well as the temporal aspect; many a time both Mike and Lance have headed to water to find peace and solace. And given that our bodies are roughly 70% water, it is not surprising that humans have such an affinity with it.
Mike is currently building both a pond and a bog-garden at his home, given the already beautiful space a spiritual boost, a place to calm the mind and reflect.
Lance chose to celebrate the glory of water by going out in one of the biggest downpours this year; not for any particular reason, just to be out in nature while the drops fell. The resulting video wasn’t planned but just happened. Lance felt the inspiration to record the rain as it fell onto the greenery of St David’s Wood near his home. The resulting video, a compilation of all the clips captured during the walk, turned out to be a meditative piece that can be enjoyed with the visuals or just the pure sound of rain falling onto the earth, plants and the river.
