Is this the ideal place to be? Not necessarily in a physical sense. The recording was made in Leipzig, and not everyone can travel to Germany. But there's a nice balance here. Church bells and some kind of motor. Birds chirping. Human voices, and with them, a dog. This is where nature meets culture. Maybe this time they can be friends.

I enjoyed the quiet beauty of this soundscape and was reminded of a book I enjoyed reading a few years ago titled A Time of Gifts written by Patrick Leigh Fermor. First published in the 70s it's his reminiscence of a walking tour he made in 1933/34 as he walked across Northern Europe from the Hook of Holland overland to Constantinople when he was 18.
I found a review you might enjoy. I do have the copy with this cover if you think you'd be interested in having it on hand. I'd be happy to send it to you.
