Recordist's notes

The northend of Bindermichl park where the autobahn emerges from the tunnel below. For your eyes is a beautiful linear park planted with native and exotic trees, bushes and flowers. For your ears only traffic. This was recorded beside a row of metal pillars overgrown with vines bearing very large green beans.
