Just before the weekend I was bemoaning in a Friday bugbear the lack of silence in the English countryside, and you may recall I mentioned how it is much easier to find in the hills in the Algarve. Here’s an example of noise in the hills;
A location with sounds under 40 decibels for an hour or more are so difficult to find in many parts of the world that there’s even a battle to save these quiet spaces. So this is my odd square today; something that doesn’t happen often!
This post, well a still of this view, will be my desktop for February as today is Clare’s Share Your Desktop. What’s your desktop view for the month ahead?
It is a beautiful view. I adore the sounds too!!! 😀

Quiet can be hard to come by, and the fridge buzzes loudly next to me in agreement! I love walking the coast here, but even that can be loud when the waves are crashing ashore. My post today is actually taken in what can be a very quiet setting: https://grahamsisland.com/2022/02/15/scrawled-filefish-5/

Ahhh, my sort of spot and odd. Even when I was in the park in Illinois, there was always highway noise in the background, even though I eventually didn’t hear it unless I thought about it. 🙂 And lovely views you have as well.

I don’t think it’s ever really quiet here on account of the noisy animals, but up on the hill it can be peaceful.
