Sweden: The sound of lake Övre Gla

As I wrote in my previous post, the Swedish lakes are so peaceful, quiet and beautiful. Especially the ones without a lot of motorized boats and far away from busy roads. The only thing you hear while paddling around is yourself, touching the water, and in this case you hear the sound of  my breath and my raincoat now and then. It's not so much the sound of the place itself this time, as it was very quiet. 

It was a rainy week, luckily we only had a little rain when we were on the water. It took us about five hours to paddle around the island in the middle of the lake. A beautiful, rocky island with lots of wild blueberries, providing a nice dessert to our lunch.

Thank you Michael! Well, you can listen to it using the SoundCloud player embedded in the post. This is where I recorded it: Canoe on Flickr

Cool sound (sorry didn't spot the soundcloud) and pic. Water so often just sounds like white noise but when it's not flowing too fast it can sound quite hypnotic - i recommend checking out http://www.touchradio.org.uk/touch_radio_30_enrico_coniglio.html
