EXTT0=Night blinds the eyes to a world that only the ears can s
EXTT0=ee. Sound is Nature's flashlight; and nowhere else is thi
EXTT0=s more true than inside the Sinharaja forest on the tiny 
EXTT0=island of Sri Lanka. Ancient trees and lush undergrowth, 
EXTT0=nurtured by the warm temperatures and ample rainfall, pro
EXTT0=duce an amphitheater like no other. A voice hangs on ever
EXTT0=y leaf. The night ambience is given spatial definition by
EXTT0= the countless voices of frogs and insects. It is practic
EXTT0=ally impossible to keep track of every one, nor should we

EXTT0=s that merge into the music of the night. The music is en

EXTT6=And finally to dawn. Night listening is a special kind of
EXTT6= listening. We do it even in our sleep; we do not have ea
EXTT6=r lids. Alarm clocks are a testimony to that fact; but th
EXTT6=ere are no alarms here. If you listen closely, you will h
EXTT6=ear the forest gently sleeping. This is the supreme compl
