It is not a creek in the middle of the jungle. It is a pool in the middle of my town. Environmental noises consist of traffic sounds and children playing in the streets. But no one goes here, to this specific location, as there is nothing to see, nor to do. (It comes to my mind that this is a good place to dump a dead body – I’m sorry for that sense of humour). It is a forgotten spot in a busy, noise city, but it’s not a peaceful one. It is not owned by anyone and it has no function. It makes clear that there’s a big difference between silence and emptiness.
