This is my favorite place in Netherlands. Today there are still more than 1.000 mills. Nowhere in the world you will find as many windmills as nearĀ  Kinderdijk. Around 1740 no less than 19 sturdy mills were built here. They have been well preserved to the present day. Interesting, isn’t it?

  4. Nice photographs, the little contrast in 0054 & 67 are eye catching :D

  5. We have windmills and very flat land with water around them in Norfolk, (Britain) where I live, it looks like these pictures! Many people from Holland arrived in Norfolk in the 1700′s and built their windmills all over the Norfolk countryside! How strange two different countries can look so alike in certain areas! :D
