Nice piece of work, but you're wrong at 8.27 : this is not the Plompetoren or Dieventoren but the watergate in the 2nd ring called Monnikendam.

The Plompetoren (located 270 meters to the north) is part of the 1st ring and appears at 5.14 - 5.22 in you movie.

Kind greetings, Maria:-)

Mooie video, ik had in de Amersfoort nu wel iets gelezen dat zei dat Amersfoort niet zijn naam heeft omdat de Eem vroeger de Amer heette maar zijn naam heeft door een Frankische volk dat hier ooit leefte, de Chamaven.

Fijn dat je de video mooi vindt. Dat zou ook goed kunnen. Ik heb mijn tekst gebaseerd op de informatie in wikipedia:-)

This is a beautiful video. :D

What is the music?

[maaswater15]

Thank you. The music is Atlantique Nord from Yann Tiersen.

I'm a proud Amersfoorter :)

Growing up with Oma in the '60's & '70's & living in Baarn in the summer, never once did we go to Amersfoort. It looks very nice, but then again, so does most of Holland.

Ik woon in Amersfoort (:
