Waking up is a different experience in Coimbatore where I grew up. Each day I woke up in the morning to a cornucopia of sounds from the Peacocks living in the trees that spread above my house to the the distinctive sounds of the Cuckoo birds interspersed with the chirping of the local squirrels. What makes it different here is the lack of road noises, we being further away from the nearby major arterial roads.
This is a different experience to the one at home in Burlington where we live by a creek - with its own support eco system comprised of rabbits, squirrels and local Canadian birds added to the mix.
Thinking deeper on this subject, the eco system difference is actually enabled by the density of trees that support these birds and animals, so in spite of the hot sultry year round weather with a paucity of rains, the animal and bird eco system is supported by the dense growth of trees. The picture above shows that trees that have grown within the last thirty years being the foundation of what thrives here. That might very well be the difference and what a difference it makes.
