Wonderment.
Hello, hello, hello,
.
Oh my goodness, I cannot wait to tell you an amazing thing.
.
Did you know that you can now hear the voice of a tree!
You can even go and hear it yourself if you are lucky enough to live near to Harlow Carr Gardens in Harrogate.
.
An artist called Alex Metcalf has built a sort of sophisticated ear trumpet, to capture the sound of a tree growing.
.
It magnifies the sound 400 times and filters out the background noise.
.
You will hear a sort of purring or growling noise which is the movement in the tree. In the background is the sound of the water moving the trunk.
.
Alex has fitted an Indian Beam tree with many sets of dangling headphones, so that interested people can put them on and be amazed.
.
How wonderful is that!
I wish I was able to go there.
.
The exhibition is on until Sunday
