People old and jong are skating on the natural ice of a small water (Kloosterwiel) near the city of Zaltbommel in the Netherlands. Hear the typical sound natural ice makes.
About the pictureThe photo shows a frozen lake in a winter landscape, with several individuals skating across the ice and others seated on a sled. In the foreground, a microphone is mounted on a stand at the edge of the lake. It is intended for recording ambient sounds, likely capturing the cracking of the ice, the movement of the skaters, and other environmental noises. The ice near the shore is broken into large shards, while further out it is solid enough to support safe skating and sledding. Leafless trees are visible in the background, indicating a winter setting. Bright sunlight reflects off the ice, contributing to a calm and clear atmosphere.
About the environment and recording
The ice is about 6-8cm (2-3 inches) thick.
Recorded on >20meters. Water edge is on 2 meters, so sometime you hear the water coming from under the ice onto the sandy shore.
Behind the microphones the river-dike and the busy river Waal which you can not hear.
