Impression of Amsterdam
Impression of Amsterdam
An impressionist's view of a typical street in Amsterdam - consisting mainly of one of the city's many canal highways. Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands (though the seat of government is The Hague) started life as a fishing village in the C12th. But apparently, following floods in the 1170s, the locals built a dam and bridge across the Amstel River - hence its name. Unsurprisingly, one of the best ways to see the city is to travel by boat along its beautiful tree-lined waterways.
