Nature and everyday sounds

An alpine blessing is a protective song in the form of a chant, which is intended to protect the alp, the herdsmen and the cattle and is sung every evening. The Alpine blessing is one of the oldest Christian traditions in Switzerland. Like the didgeridoo, Indian wooden trumpets and African wooden horns, the alphorn is one of the original wind instruments

On the Alps, the goats and cows are brought into the stables for milking in the evening. All the animals wear a bell so that they don't get lost and can orient themselves to each other

In the Alpstein region in Appenzell in Switzerland, it is not only fantastically beautiful, but also acoustically impressive when the cows are grazing on the Alps with their bells ringing

The “Wildenstein” nature reserve with its castle of the same name in the canton of Baselland (Switzerland) is exceptionally beautiful. A small stream with delightful birdsong provides an unparalleled acoustic highlight. The highlight is an extremely strong thunderstorm, which admittedly took me by surprise

In Braga/Portugal, a cable car runs to the pilgrimage site of Bom Jesus do Monte. Adventurous noise backdrop, but exciting

A large market is held every week in Barcelos in Portugal. It is mainly women who sell clothes loudly. A walk through the hustle and bustle of the market.
