Have you ever thought about those tiny little sounds that have the power to place you in a very specific time or setting, e.g. your childhood?
This is what happens when I hear dogs barking.
When I grew up in Buenos Aires, my days began and end with the sound of homeless dogs barking outside my window.
Then I moved to Sweden and here there is total silence. Pure, mystifying silence. Anonymous silence. Silence that isolates. Silence that keeps you where you are. Freezing silence.
Except for now: a dog is barking!
