Vlissingen, Zeeland, Netherlands
harbour sluices locks

Calm waves in harbour of Vlissingen in Holland. Complete with the crying call of the Arctic Tern so now and than. Some seagoing ships pass.

This is at the edge of North Sea and river Schelde in the Netherlands, there were a dike makes a 90 degree short angle. The dike is at the right. The effect in sound is that it seems that the stereo-image is not correct. There is a hole in the sound.
Not a very special recording but I hope you like the ambience and you discover some details in this track I did not mention.
A recording just in the corner of he dike: http://freesound.org/people/klankbeeld/sounds/169181/

I listen to your fieldrecordings pretty much every day at work - they are great for getting focused.
