Hello, and welcome to Snoozy Hills.
Whatever brought you here (winding down, settling in to focus, or just needing a quiet moment), I hope this little window of calm helps. Take a slow breath. There's no rush here.
I made this to be gentle, free and ad-free. If it brings you a bit of peace and you'd like to say thanks, a coffee keeps it that way for everyone.
Buy me a coffee Take care of yourself. ~ Alexander
Thunderstorm: rain, wind and rolling thunder
Heavy rain sweeps across the landscape, trees bend in the gusts and clouds roll over the hills. It's a dramatic but soothing storm to watch, with a soft rain sound if you want it.
Lightning flashes are optional. You're asked before anything flashes, and "Storm without flashes" keeps it to a soft, safe glow.
