A panoramic view by the Dutch photographer Hans Molenkamp on the newly developed living quarter named Noorderplassen West in Almere. All streetnames have a reference to the old history of the Netherlands as a Nautic nation. Names like Great Sail or buoyline are common and give a feeling of being connected to ones living area. Almere serves as a overflow town for those who like to escape the crowded life in the west of the Netherlands and so Almere is the fastest growing town of Holland.
