The Soundscape Library (Soundscape 9) – Hemmeland Woods + Dog!

Moral: never take a dog with you when you are recording soundscapes!

Please click on the Soundcloud link below, close your eyes and join me for a walk in the woods at Hemmeland – a wooded area close to Monnickendam, Noord Holland, Netherlands.

Hemmeland is a great place to see nature, picnics, sunbathing and for dog walks. At Hemmeland you’ll find a mixture of wildlife, flowers, plants, trees, beaches and much more.  There was a northeasterly wind today blowing at between 10-15 Knots. You’ll hear quite a lot of noise generated as the wind blew through the treetops.  You’ll also hear the dog sniffing around.

There’s not too much about Hemmeland on the Internet but you can look at my photographs of Hemmeland by clicking on this link to visit my Adobe Spark Hemmeland page (scroll down when you get there)

The Harbour Extension

The quayside in Monnickendam town harbour is being extended.  This means that more people will be able to sit and enjoy food, drink and ice cream during the summer.

The Best Bread

The Netherlands is the very best place to buy bread.  Here’s the young lady at Monnickendam market (Saturdays) when many different types of bread and cakes (yum!) are available.  Some of the bread and cakes are cooked on the stall.  It doesn’t get fresher than that!

The High-Rise Fungi

For some reason this high-rise fungi was growing up the side of just one tree in the entire forest.  I took the photograph yesterday, by this morning the fungi had all died back. Strange is the life of fungi.

The Hemmeland Fungi

I’ve been out and about today taking photographs of fungi at Hemmeland (not far from Amsterdam and a delightfully secret bit of the Netherlands)
