The "sound" of Silence.

[Carnebwen]

Went back to visit my parents in Cornwall last month. Driving back the coastal route I pulled over due to needing a piss. Climbed a gate and relieved myself. Couldn't hear anything other than birds. Nothing there for visibly miles around. Felt like I would be able to gear a moth fart. It was something I had forgotten living in a city. I consider it quiet here, but it's not "true" quiet. The occasional distant ambulance or car alarm, drunken students walking hone and the odd fox or cats fighting and the occasional chav speeding a few miles away. I learn to ignore all this, but back in that field it was just the wind, my heartbeat and my piss.
