Pasture early February. 350M from the (down-town) city ‘s-Hertogenboch, North-Brabant, I the Netherlands. The traffic just behind the old city-wall. People let there dog's out here, bike and skate. The carillon (bells) of the st. Jan's cathedral give this recording the image of a city in the distance. <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3ABoche_Broek_Febr_2017.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Boche Broek Febr 2017" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Boche_Broek_Febr_2017.jpg/512px-Boche_Broek_Febr_2017.jpg"></a> Recorded: February 18th 2017 2 pm, Sterrenbosweg - Singelgrachtweg, Bossche Broek, 's-Hertogenbosch.

Decoded Mid-side to STEREO. <b>history of the waters around the city</b> In the Middle Ages' the city of s-Hertogenbosch was an almost impregnable fortress. The city was built on a low sandy hill in the wetlands, which was wet with the rivers 'Dommel' and 'Dieze'. In 1579 the Spaniards still managed to take the city.'s-Hertogenbosch became a Catholic stronghold. Frederick Hendrik in 1629 called in the help of the famous water-engeneer Leeghwater. Thanks to his dike system the land could be insinuated (flooded) and so the people of 's-Hertogenbosch got back the city into their own hands. Through the work of Leeghwater the area I'm standing named 'Bossche Broek' became a controllable wetland, a marshy parkland area along the lower reaches of the river Dommel. These days the area still can be flooded when the surrounding rivers (Maas, Aa, Dieze and Dommel)are to high.
