Leisure time at the 'Wouter Spring' (Wouterbron Maaseik, Belgium, August 12th 2024

I made this recording during a few days of vacation with my wife and daughter. For two days in a row, it was about 34 degrees Celsius, and cooling off in this spring was a good idea. The Wouter Spring is a natural swimming pool in Belgian Limburg. It's an ideal biotope for several rare species of frogs and salamanders.

The sudden silenc

Plaza de Armas (Cusco, Peru , July 6th, 2018)

Oct 09 2023 3 mins  
You hear, among others, German and American tourists in Cusco. We walk around the Plaza de Armas in Cusco in search of a restaurant. Restaurant staff promote their menus. A passing woman asks if I want a massage. And you probably hear much more than I do if you give it a try. Aporee: https://aporee.org/maps/work/?loc=62586
