Ivy, wind and distant trains

This is one of my first experiments recording with a Sound Devices; the set-up is Sound Devices 702 plus Audio Technica BP4029 stereo microphone. I am not sure if I had the channels linked correctly, as I had to boost the left a little in post-production to balance left and right channels. Haren is a very quiet district on the outskirts of Brussels, and the day we visited was very windy. There are many trains passing through, and lots of quiet green pockets of land. I was standing in a sheltered spot beside the wall that surrounds St Catherine's Church. I could hear very close by, the sounds of birds and the wind moving through the ivy; and more distantly, the trains passing and traffic moving gently in the nearby square. It is not my favourite recording ever; it's a little windy in places. However it does document a careful listening experience in what was to me a completely foreign land and sound scape.
