Recordist's notes

the recording was made on 12th of may (2012) in the evening hours, simply with a Zoom H4n. the place is located hillside over the labe/elbe river. trains passing the valley near Decin can be heard several minutes in advance, depending on the circumstances even up to almost 10 minutes (especially trains coming from the north direction). If you listen intently you can hear the certain filtering of the different meanders of the labe/elbe since the railway leads exactly along the river through the mountains. included other sounds: people talking nearby, dog (grisha) barking, no birds singing but airplane passing, ... Unfortunately I can't contribute a longer recording due to the bad wind protection I had at my disposal that day.
