down-town noise with people workers Smalle Haven s-Hertogenbosch 1229 pm 250918_0035

Calm down-town channel street with people. Far a carillon for a moment and the 11:30 am bell. Eurasian Jackdaws calling as ever.
Audio recording from the city center of ’s-Hertogenbosch, taken from the platform along the small inner-city river Dieze at the Smalle Haven. Most of the traffic and people you hear are in the Visstraat, about 20 meters away. I am located approximately 3 meters below street level. On the left, renovation work is being carried out on a house.

About the picture A canal scene in the heart of ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. The image captures a quiet stretch of the Dieze river, bordered by a wooden walkway and stone walls. A brick bridge with two arches spans the canal. Traditional Dutch townhouses and shops line the street above, with a few trees adding greenery. The overcast sky gives the scene a calm, moody atmosphere.
