My entry for the ADVENTURE UKULELE CONTEST.

I shot the video on a walk around the Black Firs Nature Reserve. This a is a scientifically important area of boggy woodland that is close to where I live. 

I know that I am blessed to be able to live in a rural area where there are plenty of beautiful walks.

The music is another experiment in minimalism. Here I have improvised 4 ukulele parts. Although it is over 5 minutes long, I have based it all around the chord of G (or variations of it). Each part was recorded in one take. I used my Kala JazzUke for all parts.

I enjoy walking and wanted to enter Alex's contest. Don't forget to check out his website here:
