sounds

The island of Skopelos is rich with sound: noisy, humming, chattering, beating, whispering, thumping, churning, howling and singing. While traveling through the streets of Skopelos the explorer hears the steady beat of his own sandals against the stone steps while motorcycles thunder and growl through passageways, dogs take chase and bark after one another and a child's high spirited laughter echoes off of the adjoining apartments and houses that flank the narrow walkways. Meanwhile there is the slow yet constant pulsation of waves permeating the sandy shoreline backed by the droning of cicadas in the surrounding hills.
