Beautiful picture of Amsterdam.
We Dutch are good at managing water and land.
Very very cool! Didn't know parts of Amsterdam were made up of man-made islands. Thank you!
Lol found my home town!
The Island in the middle of the Markermeer is called Markerwadden. This island is being created to improve the water quality of the markermeer.
