Sounds
On a bright and cold Sunday morning, a few families bring their children to the playground at Durham Central Park. Off in the distance are also teenagers enjoying their weekend at the skate park up the hill from the playground. Birds chirp happily in the background. Occasionally, the faint sounds of cars rumbling by are audible. Recorded using a Zoom H4n.
