  1. Same spot photograph Date: October 30, 2022  Time: 3:40pm Temperature: 65°F Climate conditions: Little to no clouds, sunny, low humidity.

  Same spot photograph Date: October 9, 2022  Time: 5:16pm Temperature: 69°F Climate conditions: full cloud cover, no wind, low or no humidity.

Natural sounds such as bugs and bird noises are starting to seem to decrease in amount.
