If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Hommage à Dame Nature

Ce film est composé de photos prises au cours de mes balades matinales dans la nature, lorsque les premiers rayons de soleil inondent les fleurs couvertes de rosée.
Parcourir notre Dame Nature en immortalisant sa beauté est pour moi une source de fraîcheur et de joie dans le chaos qui règne en ce monde et je suis heureuse de la partager avec vous.
Ces photos sont accompagnées par le prélude en C Major de Bach, par Morning Mood de Grieg et par l' Hiver des 4 saisons de Vivaldi
