beach North Sea

As you can see in the picture, calm waves at the Westduin beach in the Netherlands, in the province Zeeland at spring between 8-9 am.

Arctic Terns call looking for there love and searching for fish. Sometime there are no birds at all.

Because this is the 'sandy coast' the ships pass the closest in the world, just on 250m from the shoreline at ebb (low)-tide, you hear one large container ship and later a small coaster passing, complete with the high waves the make. It's nice to check the shipping http://www.marinetraffic.com

This is a modern high quality (-q10, 1500kbit/s) OGG Vobis compression file (48000Hz/16bit). The quality is almost as good as the 48/24-WAV original file. You can easily use this file in HD-film and HIFI music-tracks. The sound-quality is, after this compression technique still very high The file size reduction is about 75% of the WAV-track

To hear, you first have to listen
