What is around you

From the south tower, main cables, traffic, runners, ships, gulls, foggy headlands and the city sit in a full surround view.

How it moves

You stay on the tower while fog moves through the strait, traffic crosses the deck and birds pass the rail.

What you can do

Choose First light or Blue hour with the vibe control. Use Sound the horn, press E, or tap the scene to send a ring through the fog and wake the birds.

Music

Morning over the strait uses warm plucks with wind, gulls and a distant horn once sound is enabled.
