Slow river Maas floodplain in The Netherlands in spring. 
It is quiet on the Meuse River. Birds are singing to their hearts' content. Slowly, pleasure yachts pass and a propeller plane flies over. The waves beat against the stones of the riverbed. It becomes calm again. Far, at the opposite side of the river local traffic.
