Recordist's notes
Between Slussen and Gamla stan (the old town) there is a small harbour where the boats go to Skeppsholmen, Djurgården and to the archipelago. This recording is from a small bridge for arriving boats. A big chain is keeping the bridge by the harbour, and it makes this whistling sound that you can hear when the bridge is slowly rocking up and down by the waves. Recorded with a ZOM h4n. Jesper Nielsen.
