Trafalgar Square

I was up in London in August. It was a great sunny day, and there was plenty going on in Trafalgar Square.

M5 motorway through Exeter

Walking over the M5 flyover on Tithebarn Lane Exeter, Devon. A binaural field recording taken on 4th August 2009.

This is on my lunch break walking route - most of the route is more picturesque than the motorway flyover though!
