Horses in the Night

So I have discovered one of my favorite new sounds. About 11 pm every night if I have my windows open I can hear horses clomping down the streets. Last night, was a rainy dreary night and as I sat in the dim room at my computer, listening to the rain, which is one of my other favorite sounds, I began to hear the sounds of the horse and carriage returning from a night down town. In the usually busy city, full of sirens, honking, and just general business, it seems like the peaceful sounds of the hoofs of the horses hitting the pavement always makes me stop what I'm doing and peek out the window. The rare site of the horse and carriage always makes me smile...how cool is that?
