The sound is probably better off after the map has been on except for 4:59 to 5:30 or so when you can hear a Bellbird.
There are gratuitous photo's of wild goats. And ducks.There is beautiful scenery.
There is a poem inna notebook that is being a bit difficult about getting finished.

I've heard that if you string that thim stuff, bad things can happen to good people.
