Recordist's notes
This track sound very noisy, but it is quite representative of what is heard here. All the roads, railways and tram lines running along the valley beside the river Vltava create the constant rushing aural background to the whole area where ever you are. This spot is in woodland, but just above the multiple transport systems. On this recording a nuthatch calls, trams squeal and the almost lost loudspeakers announce an incoming train to Braník station. It is windy. At the end a single train engine passes very close on the upper railtrack.
