As I exit from the gondola with the others I ask them to be quiet and listen to what is around them. 

We walk up on a line. 1 by 1. People spread out. 

There is a strong wind. People turn their backs. Across the sun is still up. Mountains. White snow. The wind is very strong. I walk upwards, a little bit ahead looking for a place to put down the antenna.  

There is a fold in the mountain where the wind seems like it could be a little less strong. 

I stop and wait for the others to come towards me. I ask what they heard. 

footsteps: the wind: footsteps: body: the wind.

I take out the antenna. I place it in the snow. I plug the enameled copper end that has been soldered onto a mini jack into jack jack. 

Put the jack jack into the zoom h-5. 

Take out the headphones and plug these into the zoom h-5. 

One by one we take turn to listen to the antenna: prrpripripr Psssh pshhhs pripipripi pshhhshs.
