Sound Art
Yesterday we visited the Highline in New York City's Chelsea district. We brought with us a large number of extended family members. We saw pop-up marketplaces, restaurants, shops & so many pigeons!

Along the Highline trail, my dad and I both heard a smooth, silver-tongued voice listing animal species slowly, sporadically in a British accent.

Dad and I silently looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the man speaking. However, we saw no one whose mouth appeared to be speaking the words.

Finally we discovered a sign explaining that what we were hearing was a sound art installation! Relieved that we could speak freely together about the odd succession of words we'd been hearing, we laughed and repeated after the recording as it said "The Good Animals......Penguin..Racoon..........Beaver...............................Elephant."
