A Walk Through Amstel Park

1 January 2000

[ Park Train, with Chickens ]The Amstel Park has all  sorts of things, including miniature golf, this little train for the kiddies and free range chickens running all over the place. [ Path, with chickens ]Chickens, chickens everywhere!
[ Chicken in a tree ]Including in the trees.  Chickens climb trees?  Who knew? [ Rooster in a tree ]This feller followed the chicken up the tree.
[ Thea, with windmill ]The park also has a windmill -- one of a handful in Amsterdam that are still operable.

This one is a private home now, but they still operate it on "windmill day" once a year.

[ Erik with Windmill ]This feller followed that lovely young lady into the park.
[ Duck, Duck, Goose ]Chickens are everywhere, but other fowl make an appearance, too.

Among the other fowl are geese and these strangely upright black ducks.

[ Upright Ducks ]Here's a closeup of the strange ducks.
[ Thea, with Garden ]The park also contains a little "gallery" with some lovely things for sale.

The garden in front of the gallery is pretty, so I thought it would complement Thea well.

I was right.

[ Feeding Time ]The chickens and geese don't stay on the lawns -- they come right up to the entrance.   Sometimes you even see roosters and chickens on the median of the busy (four lane) street that runs along the park.
