At the other end of the dynamic scale, in '72 my wife and I, courtesy of an
American Forester, Clark Gleason, stopped at a visitor information station
at an entrance on the eastern side of (I think) Yosemite NP.  Location is
not important anyway.  There was a tiny pond covered with a thin sheet of
ice which was melting with the morning warmth.  It made a heavenly sound.
Very soft, very beautiful.   Wished I had a recorder with me.  Not much
opportunity for listening to ice in the subtropics.
