sensing sounds

 

Out here in the forests, by the side of the lake, there is never actually total quietness. The absence of the sounds of human activity often auto-suggest a stillness that is never really there in nature. Even when there seems to be not even the slightest breeze to orchestrate the trees, there are still suggestions of sounds gossamer-winged singing in the air.

Of course, this is the time of the year for the occasional shatter, clatter, natter of hunting rifles. Just once in a while practice flights of jet fighters state the assumed supremacy of technology over nature with their much less than thunder power!

Into this spaghetti-ball of sounds entered yet another herald – the ring-toned mobile phone. A wonderful gadget, really. A helper in time of trouble. A convenience tool that makes me wonder how we managed 40 years ago :)
