Describe the sights, sound and smells along a

deserted country lane

A cool breeze blows into my face The air is fresh and

clear I hold my fishing gear in my hand as I trudge down

the country lane towards my favorite fishing hole

The lane is a narrow one seldom used by four-wheeled

vehicles It is more like a well-used foot-path but I can see

motorcycle tyre marks on the exposed earth Anyhow at

the moment it is all very still except for the sounds of birds

singing, insects screeching and mosquitoes buzzing

The mosquitoes are a real nuisance I keep having to hit

them as they alight on my body to have a feed There

must be hundreds of them Despite applying insect

repellent on my clothes, these tiny hordes of winged

blood-suckers still come

Both sides of the lane are covered with thick undergrowth

Behind the undergrowth is a rubber estate Further back is

the beginning of a virgin jungle I can hear the distinct

sounds of this jungle even from a distance

A bird takes flight from the bushes as I walk past it It

squawks noisily I pause a moment to watch it fly up and

alight on the branch of a tree It is a black bird with two

long tall feathers trailing along prominently as it flies

Behind me a hidden magpie-robin breaks into its sweet

melodious song It is always a pleasure to hear a

magpie-robin sing Its song has a refreshing whistle-tone to it I

whistle in reply

We have a lively whistling exchange for a minute until my

lips become tired Then I admit defeat and leave the

magpie-robin to sing on his own

The smell of country air is very different from city air

There are no vehicle fumes here The only smell that can

be considered a bit unpleasant is the smell of cow-dung I

spy some tell-tale greenish blobs along the lane I tread

carefully past them Some cows have gone by this lane

just a bit before me The dung is still wet In fact I can

smell those fellows as well close by

As if in direct response two bleary-eyed individuals appear

before me They took at me waving their tails to chase the

flies away I look at them They seem harmless, so I walk

by They watch me go as they chew on the grass in their

mouths

Finally I reach my fishing hole It is about ten meters from

the lane I leave the lane and head towards the pond

Gleefully I put down my fishing gear and prepare to have a

pleasant evening there
