The view out of the main listening room has changed a little
We got some serious wind a few days ago…. and one of the trees, one that was dead anyway… decided to lay down for awhile.
This tree has been in most of the photos of our main listening room (and listening room/showroom #2). Then it died a few years – but its bark turned an interesting red color and so it still contributed to the ambiance of the scenery outside.
If you look closely, you can see the silhouette of a Kharma Mini Exquisite loudspeaker through the window on the left…
The root system sure wasn’t much to look at… Glad it went THAT way through the fence and not through the window…
But it landed on another dead tree – a cool looking one at that – so we have this abstract branch sculpture to look at if we get bored…. So it still contributes to the ambiance – just a little more chaotically. 🙂
Mike – you shouldn’t play your music so loud with the windows open… tsk-tsk.
Seriously – you’re lucky the damage didn’t impact your home directly 🙂

Oh but Steve, we were a tube-amplified shop at the time of the Event – so we were well within the speed limits. That tree looks like a solid-state casualty to me … 🙂
And yes, we had been warned – so we do fell lucky it fell thataway.
Take care,
Mike.
Well… one thing I did learn from your post.
Which will probably sound completely irrelevant to you.
Either that, or you’ve heard it a thousand times.
That no matter how much I’d like to convince myself with that report that it’s not safe outside the city… trees fall, electricity can be cut for days, bears attack… I don’t buy my own reasoning.
…I still want a listening room like that.
( Please tell me, on a night with a full moon, does a faint halo engulf the speakers ? and please don’t wake me, it’s a city dweller’s dream… )
And to think we’d have some pretty landscapes over here too. I’ve got to save up a bit.
