I’ve been relishing the relative quiet of the countryside recently but even the quietest of corners on the planet have some identifiable noises, from the sounds of chirping crickets or birdsong to planes far overhead. Here are a few noises-filled photos.
Brass bands marching down 5th Avenue in Manhattan on St Patrick’s Day.
The fizz whizz bang of fireworks always brings out my inner child. This was taken at Seattle’s Space Needle one New Year’s Eve.
The refreshing splash of the fountain in London’s Trafalgar Square on a hot summer’s eve.
