About the Westeinderplassen
Aalsmeer sits in the flat polder landscape of North Holland, a short drive from Schiphol and Amsterdam. The Westeinderplassen are a chain of shallow lakes linked by canals, surrounded by reed beds, meadows and small farms. The area is known for its open skies, long views and the wide horizon typical of the Dutch lowlands. It is also famous as the home of the flower auctions that gave the town its reputation as the flower capital of the Netherlands.
What the camera shows and when
The camera is categorised as an other view, so it is best understood as a general look at open water and surrounding land rather than a specific landmark. Water surfaces are most interesting in calm morning light, when reflections are clearest, and in late afternoon when the sun sits low over the lakes. Wind and cloud move quickly across the flat land, so the view can change within minutes. Check the live weather on this page to see whether conditions are likely to be clear.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
The Netherlands has a mild, maritime climate, with cool, damp winters and fairly mild summers. Spring and early autumn are often the most pleasant times to visit the lakes, while summer brings the most daylight for cycling. Nearby on VizCams are a falcon nest camera at Aalsmeer, a view from Mijdrecht, and cameras in Amsterdam, including Hotel Nes, all within easy reach by road or train.
