city from pasture March Bossche Broek LONG 130302_01.flac

The down-town begins 300 m from here. I'm standing in the pasture early March. As far as I know, there is no down-town so close to the fields (see geaotag)in Europe, but I could be wrong. The traffic just behind the old city-wall.
People let there dog's (and kids ;-) out here.
Cause it's cold and cloudy between winter and spring there are not many birds around. The carillon (bells) of the st. Jan's cathedral and the far city-hall give this recording the image of a city in the distance. Sometimes the trains (left) are audible. Even the audio signal of the traffic-light 300m away is there. And the two planes are for free.

history of the waters around the city
In the Middle Ages' the city of s-Hertogenbosch was an almost impregnable fortress. The city was built on a low sandy hill in the wetlands, which was wet with the rivers 'Dommel' and 'Dieze'. In 1579 the Spaniards still managed to take the city.'s-Hertogenbosch became a Catholic stronghold. Frederick Hendrik in 1629 called in the help of the famous water-engeneer Leeghwater. Thanks to his dike system the land could be insinuated (flooded) and so the people of 's-Hertogenbosch got back the city into their own hands. Through the work of Leeghwater the area I'm standing named 'Bossche Broek' became a controllable wetland, a marshy parkland area along the lower reaches of the river Dommel.
These days the area still can be flooded when the surrounding rivers (Maas, Aa, Dieze and Dommel)are to high.
