Peace and quiet is a quality often missing in the urban environment. Those who travel to remote, rural areas often notice the striking difference in the noise level between the cities and the countryside, although in practice the ambient noise level is still higher than the near absolute quiet found in an anechoic chamber. This view of Lake Mapourika in New Zealand captures the essence of tranquillity. Photo credit: Wombat |
