river & lake NL EU 2016

Calm riverbank of village Bokhoven NL during summer day around 10 am.

I stand between the sheep along the river Maas. It's morning and it is quiet in the village behind me. A restaurant is supplied. Sometimes you hear people talking. Listen well.
In thirty five minutes, only a few large cargo boats along. The second with modern high speed diesel engine (sorry a bit overloaded sound). And an Apache helicopter. Furthermore, it is very quiet. Birds are quiet in the summer because they are molding and do not want to be heard by predators.
