you can hear a couple of voices talking from a distances, the sound of something scraping and hitting the ground before it clangs onto something made of metal. There is a hoard of small, insistant chirps coming from a hoard of small birds, the caws of a few crows, and the occassional sounds of small children. People walk past, chattering and laughing, and the gravel shifts as they walk with a stroller. A couple of things clack together further in the background, a small snapping sound like a twig breaking, or a lighter igniting. And then more birds.
