Backyard quarantine in Lisbon
May 05, 2020, 08:43 AM
Lisbon lockdown sound recorded by Xavier Ovidio.
"This sound was recorded from the backyard of my apartment that is usually a noisy place since its possible to ear the cars and ambulances crossing one of the main avenues towards the city centre, Av. Almirante Reis, and a lot of planes since we have the airport in the city.
"With the confinement the sounds I ear now are birds, some house noises from the neighbours and children playing in the stairs that access the back of the buildings.
"Going to the stairs every day to read the pile of books I wanted to read since long time, I've met and helped more neighbours than ever, in the and we created a good community spirit. About the rest of the country I have no clue, I don't watch the news since March but I think we're doing well, on the 4th of may we'll be back to the streets (I'm afraid it's already happening and people don't respect so much the safety rules... let's see.)."
