Soundscape from the forest between flats in Jižní město, Lhotka and the former village Kunratice. The valley of Kunratice creek is a natural resort area and is close to the Thomayer Municipal Hospital. The building of the modern hospital dates from 1954 and it is famous from the times of the first experiments with halucinogens in ČSSR during late fifties and early sixties. The drawing of intoxicated Stanislav Grof capturing morphing of the local clocktower into owl belongs to the local Krč pictural mythology.
