Recordist's notes
It was a hot day when I decided to record my walk around the pond of Madrid's Retiro Park. I started out on the southeast corner beneath the trees and walked anti-clockwise around the pond, back to my starting point. On the way you hear typical park sounds. A distant saxophone player becoming less distant. Kids feeding the fish and people having a good time. At the end you hear me summarize in Dutch.
