Spring evening at the river Maas near village Bokhoven in the Netherlands. A story in sound.
It is a warm peaceful evening in May.
An inland vessel has just passed by and the waves are still coming ashore. The river Maas is only a few hundred meters wide. Every now and then a plane high in the sky.
#0:01 #0:43 The clocks announce that it is 7 o'clock. First the Bokhoven clock and then the Ammerzoden clock.
#2:35 In the village behind me you can hear the children playing in the back yard.
#3:15 A bumblebee studies the microphone blimp.
#5:17 Soft sound of an motorcycle.
#8:05 The boys across the river do what boys do on a river.
#10:25 The sound of a small propeller engine of a paraglider cruising far away over the fields..
#12:17 More and more talking people approaching dog walking. Well, why not go outside now?
#14:41 It looks like a Harley Davidson driving over the dike there.
#16:03 the Oystercatchers appear near the water. I had already missed them.
#24:31 another heavy motorcycle. How beautiful that sounds from the water.
#25:41 The Greylag Geese are also back from an extensive dinner in the field. The farmers hate those animals.
#27:39 A Lapwing can be heard for a moment. And the Oystercatchers of course.
#30:02 The Green Woodpecker is laughing at us again.
#30:07 #30:47 Another half hour has passed. There are the bells again.
It's getting a bit chilly. The wind suddenly changes to the east. Hence the increasing noise of traffic. I'll just go home again.
Until the next opportunity.
