Notes from the sound guy:

 A small fishing village at the southeast corner of Skåne. According to Wikipedia, it’s sheltered from the westerly winds but exposed to the easterly ones, which is right. There was a quarry here in the 19th century. Millstones were chopped out of the limestone rock, which explains the large round holes in the ground by the sea. What would you do here nowadays? Well, take it easy, hike, have a coffee break, go mountain biking – or record audio.

My favourite sound in the recording: The lapping sound of the waves at 54 minutes and 45 seconds.

54 dB
