Dusk at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve

Oct 01, 2023, 02:06 PM

It is the soundscape of a saltmarsh nature reserve - the daytime flora and fauna, birds, insects and landscape winding down before night time, a watershed between one part of a 24 hour cycle and another. It hopefully communicates that peaceful wave, interupted by a small moped going past on a track. I left this in as a reminder of how human noise invades the sonic world.
