The Amstel River originally started at the confluence of the Drecht and Kromme Mijdrecht rivers, just southwest of Uithoorn. By canalisation and construction of the Amstel-Drecht canal in 1825 the part between Uithoorn and Ouderkerk aan de Amstel became part of this canal.
This canal starts at the Tolhuissluis at the junction of the Drecht and the Aarkanaal, just northwest of Nieuwveen, and runs through Uithoorn to Ouderkerk where the Bullewijk flows into it. From there to Amsterdam the water is still officially called Amstel. The part from the Aarkanaal to the Bullewijk is 18.5 km long, from there to the mouth the water measures 12.5 km.
Besides the Kromme Mijdrecht and the Bullewijk the small river the Waver flows into the Amstel, near the westernmost point of the polder the Ronde Hoep.
I love to go out into nature and do landscapes and macro photography.

I would also be very honoured if my work were to hang on the wall at your place to add a little more colour to your interior...
