white noise park

City-park at the end of the summer, during lunch-time, down-town, 's-Hertogenbosch, Holland. More calm recording here!

My microphone is between two very small fountains, meant to drink from (see picture, behind bike).
The park is surrounded by high and old buildings. On one side it is open to the street where people have there business.

Some people around having there lunch-break this beautiful afternoon. You hear them chtting in the distance
In the distance the soft hum of the ventilation of the kitchen of the monastery.
Nice to hear the old electric doorbell.
The trader brings goods with a pallet-truck to a shop. Sometimes he sings and whistles.
The church-bell of monastery rings for the noon-prayers. Later other church-bells ring, and the several carillons.

Location; Stadspark (city park) Mariënburg Park / Mariënburgtuin, Capucijnenpoort Uilenburg, ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch), Noord-Brabant, Netherlands (Holland), Europe. GPS 51.687475, 5.299264
