Description

09:26 / Koekoeksplein / January 22, 2017 / 52°5'57.10"N , 5°7'4.16"E / If one thing is typical of the Utrecht soundscape, it is this / The city being an old religious centre, the city is filled with churches / From my old window, one had a view of the city center and could count seven towers / Most of them have been standing for centuries, and all will ring their bells every sunday morning / This is from my balcony, 1.5 kilometers distant from Dom Square / The largest bells you hear tolling are, of course, in the Dom Tower //
