Clean Recording. Daytime ambiance of mixed forest with pine and birch trees in April.
Kampina april 2020
I've never heard it so quiet during the day. Even the farmers in the area let their machines stop for a period of time and hold their breath.

During THE corona crisis 2020, 34 days at that moment, I spent an hour and a half in De Kampina, a forest and heath area in North Brabant, in the south of the Netherlands. It was very quiet here. Nobody ventures out.
Normally I never do this, but now I have made a half an hour summary of the lush tranquillity for all of you.

I don't think there is anyone on Earth who is not (indirectly) affected by this virus.
Stay upright and strong.
Love from The Netherlands and enjoy
