May I nominate one I didn't make - but hope someone else has. Or will.
1972, and as a National Parks administrator attending the Second World
Conference on National Parks, I visited several US Parks relevant to our
local situation. One was Carlsbad Caverns.
I arrived there very early in the day and entered the caves as soon as they
were opened. There was a very large colony of some sort of cave swifts.
The massed choir of their voices, in the perfect quiet and 'concert-hall'
acoustics of the cavern entrance, made some of the most heavenly nature
music I've heard.
How I wished I had a recorder!
