Living rurally has its perks except for when one is listening for sounds of civilization ... need something of the "natural world?" No problem! I'm swimming in it. Need some industrial sounds? A little more challenging ... especially when I travel to an even more remote destination in the hills of Pennsylvania to be with family. I wasn't sure what I was going to be able to capture for sounds of civilization as Amish buggies count as traffic noise, but they don't really have a predictable rush hour to make recording them easy. So I was surprised and delighted when I saw this family working their corn field on the side of the road just out of town. I stood less than 10 feet away from their machines as they drove by and looked at me like I was a bit of a fish out of water. I waved at them and they waved back. Mission accomplished!
