Field recording captured in Shwikeh, Tulkarem, Palestine on 14/11/2025 at 13:40. Main foreground: a 70s Volkswagen Transporter (single-cab pickup) with a loudspeaker/megaphone announcing that it buys old electronics and metal, a familiar street sound in Palestinian towns.

Background: steady rain, distant thunder, charcoal BBQ grill hisses, and a soft conversation between a man and a child.

Mono; recorded on Zoom H5 with a Rode NTG3 (shotgun) inside a blimp.

Tell your jong recordist Mohannad Balawneh that I like his recording very much.
You have a sense of feling for what to record Mohannad.

I hope you will continue to send these beautiful photographs for a long time to come.
You get 5 stars from me.

الله معك.
