I think it might be hard to imagine for some how silent it is in the countryside of Finland during some winter days. When I walked away from the yard, towards the woods, first it was dead silent. I wasn't tuned into the right sensitivity after having all the noises of people talking and the children's movies playing inside. When I readjusted, I could hear faint sounds.
Snow crunching under my feet, distant sounds of cars on a bigger road, 15 kilometres away, the wind making a soft swooshing sound. If I stand very still, the big pine trees crackle a little when they sway in the wind. I walked under big power lines, which make an eery electronic noise, hard to describe. I was walking further to see if I could find any animals, there was a fox sighted around here yesterday by my dad so I was out to look for it. No luck. Only a few paw prints from earlier in the day, but it's been snowing so everything gets covered fast.
I hear a chirping sound, and see one little bird hopping around in the tall grass now covered with snow. It makes little swoops and jumps around. I guess he is hunting for food. It's the only animal I see on my walk, and I turn back home.
