In February, you hear a sound recording of the polder on the edge of the city of 's-Hertogenbosch, in which the #0:04 heavy bell of Saint John's Cathedral strikes once at the beginning. You can hear the city noise.


About the picture A polder on the edge of the city of 's-Hertogenbosch in February. In the foreground stands a microphone on a tripod, positioned approximately 350 meters from the urban area. In the distance, the old city walls and down-town buildings are visible, including the Saint John's Cathedral with its tall spire. The partly cloudy sky and bare trees enhance the atmosphere of a quiet, cold morning at the boundary between city and nature.
