The dutch love skating on ice. In particular, natural ice. Unfortunatly its not often cold enough, long enough, to actually partake in this activity. However, the last 2 weeks have been quite extraordinary. Historic spectacles of skating along the grachten of Amsterdam etc. Today I did a 20 km tour around Giethoorn. One of the most beautiful places in the country, also where my dad happens to live. This soundscape was recorded right out the front of his home where a large group of tourriders went past today.
To me this is a very special sound, I hope you will enjoy it aswell.
