Recordist's notes
On the bank of river Nemunas, which was frozen over. This happens if the winter is cold enough, which it was, as it was one of the coldest winters Lithuania faced in the 21st century. Dried out water reeds are swaying in the wind, people are walking behind as crows fly around. On the other side of the river, echoing along the frozen surface, construction work is taking place and a car goes up a hill. Equipment: EM272 Clippys + Zoom F3
