Ceolskog - Autumn Walk in the Pureora Forest (Ambient Instrumental)

Not folk metal this time! I wanted an ambient, dungeon synth meets soft-rock song, with a waltzy-walky kind of feel... sort of thing. Not sure if that's what I ended up with, but whatever. I hope that it evokes, in your mind, images of hiking through temperate rainforests during the autumn (fall for you Americans). The Pureora Forest is a temperate rainforest, "recognised as one of the finest rain forests in the world". I have been hiking through it a few times, always during the autumn, I realised.
In 1946 Pureora Forest was one of the last native forests to be opened up for logging. Established in 1978, after a series of protests and tree sittings, the park is one of the largest intact tracts of native forest in the North Island and has high conservation value due to the variety of plant life and animal habitats available.
I'm a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Hamilton, New Zealand. My videos are a mix of music, and hiking the outdoors. Ceolskog is my folk metal / heavy metal / country rock (and some other genres) band. It is also the name given to this hiking and nature-themed CZcams channel. Ceol means music in Irish, and skog means forest Norwegian and Swedish. I don't have a Patreon, but if you're a regular viewer, and you want to support me some way, you can find my music on Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, Soundcloud, Amazon, and CZcams too (of course).

Gorgeous walk and I love the Autumn colours in the trees. I am always a bit sad when summer leaves us but those colours sure make up for it, cheers Alan

[@Ceolskog-Folk-Metal-Hiking]

Thanks Alan. I'm usually quite glad when stinky summer goes, hahaha, although I do get a bit sad when autumn goes, it means winter is around the corner, haha!

[@nibimocs]

Enjoyed both the walk and the music. We're still trying to throw off the last remnants of winter here. cheers!

[@Ceolskog-Folk-Metal-Hiking]

Thanks Larry, I love autumn, only just got rid of summer in the last week or two, and it's already May (our version of November in the southern hemisphere, I guess, haha). I think most of the footage is from 2017.

Wow, Adam it looks like a fairy woodland in there. In fact a fairy woodland in Italy what with the music. Have a great week ahead. Mark

[@Ceolskog-Folk-Metal-Hiking]

It sure is! Went back recently, still a magic place!

[@WyeExplorer]

@@Ceolskog-Folk-Metal-Hiking No wonder you went back. Have a great weekend mate.

[@DesmondsDonders]

Beautiful place for a wander. Not so sure about the "waltz" though. LOL

[@Ceolskog-Folk-Metal-Hiking]

Haha, just trying a different style, not been much of a warm response so this might be a one-off!

[@netwitchtatjana4661]

Appreciated walk and music. What is it at 03:30 - ice or plastic?

[@Ceolskog-Folk-Metal-Hiking]

Hello, those are ice crystals that formed in the pumice sand on the track overnight.
