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 :)

So, check this out. See what could have been done to help Tchaikovsky

Confusing tourism

A family friend from London visited a few years ago and has obviously been concerned by our

lack of 'cosmopolitan blandishments' in this area. As we don't have one of these in the nearby town

of Bengtsfors – and I don't think we have one in the other nearest town of Årjäng.

If the Kommune ever decides we need them, perhaps this type would be more…hmmm….

interesting

 

Mind you, even that doesn't explain how a wagon+trailer similar to the one below, managed to roll UPHILL at these traffic lights and into my car – damaging the radiator,grill, front, etc.
