Ambient recording. A calm boulevard along the river Maas (on 150m) in the Netherlands. The sun will set in half an hour.
What you hear in this recording;
Most calm environment with some (not many) calm talking people on the balcony of there apartments, behind me and walking, running and biking people over the boulevard behind microphones.
Sometimes traffic (motorcycles, 50cc scooters and cars behind mic).
The birds (not many) in the 150 meter long floodplain.
Sometimes cargo ships and speed boats (with water skiing people) on the river.
Left the steel railway-bridge with electric trains. If you listen carefully you can hear the bells of the railway-crossing at the other end of the river on 1.5 km sometimes.
Some high altitude planes fly over.
After 25 minutes moment of sunset.

ps
Title is just for fun. Yes I know that Sunset boulevard is in LA and not in the LowLands.
To be sure that people do not start a conversation with me, normaly friendly person, I have a cap on my head, very dark sunglasses and a grumpy face during the recording. Sorry passersby that is the life of a recordist in the field. And that all for you freesounders ;-) haha…..
