Strange Hill at Kaka'ako Park

After our Kam Statue Peep shoot we went to Kaka'ako Park where Leslie took me to this hill.


You follow the paved sidewalk all the way to the top of the hill where there is this platform.You climb onto the pedestal and stand right in the middle of it. You shout out something, and the strangest thing happens . . . your voice sounds to you as if you're in the middle of a narrow hallway instead of in the middle of the wide open space that actually surrounds you. It is the freakiest thing, and it's gonna bother me to death unless someone can explain this phenomenon to me.

This is the video that I took with my wonderful phone-that-does-video. Unfortunately, it doesn't capture the "echo" effect. What's weird though is my phone-that-does-video is usually very sensitive to even the slightest breeze and even though it was windy up there YOU CAN BARELY HEAR IT . . . woooooo ooooooo . . . Before you click on the video you first gotta promise not to laugh at my Tita Sista Maaaaary voice that CLEARLY says, "I'm on top of DIS hill DAT'S soooooo beeeeeezaaaaaaar . . . "



Check out Leslie's blog for her pictures of me on this strange acoustic circle. By the way, does anybody know what this is?
