A windy, autumn-like day in the street or park.
This audio recording, captured on a beautiful autumn day, features the sound of wind rustling through the leaves, people passing by in the street, and the occasional bird. Further into the city center, someone is working with an angle grinder. At #1:24, various scattered church bells can be heard playing around noon.
About the picture This photo captures a tranquil scene along the Binnendieze, a historic city canal in ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. The narrow waterway flows beneath old brick buildings and beside a tall wall draped with overhanging branches, blending urban architecture with natural charm. Fallen leaves float gently on the water, hinting at the arrival of autumn and the quiet transformation of the city’s medieval heart.

About The Binnendieze. A Hidden Waterway Through History:
Flowing quietly through the heart of ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Binnendieze is more than just a canal—it’s a living monument to the city’s medieval past. This intricate network of narrow waterways once served as a vital system for defense, drainage, and transport within the city walls. Over centuries, buildings and streets were constructed above it, creating a unique underground river that winds beneath homes, courtyards, and alleyways.
Today, the Binnendieze offers a rare glimpse into the layered history of the city. Restored with care in the late 20th century, it now welcomes visitors on guided boat tours, gliding beneath centuries-old arches and alongside moss-covered walls. As you drift through hidden passages and open stretches, the blend of architecture and nature reveals how ’s-Hertogenbosch has embraced its heritage while preserving its charm.
