Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, in the province South Holland, about 15 km east of Rotterdam. Kinderdijk is situated in a polder at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best known Dutch tourist sites. They are a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
One of the windmills on the South Downs near Brighton called Jack & Jill. Jack is not nearly so well preserved and surrounded by deep foliage thus hard to photograph clode up.
Last week a lot of windmills in Holland were illuminated by lights, so I took the opportunity to photograph one of them during blue hour.....
This place is called 't Otterbos, 2016. It is a place of wet lands just outside the dike of polder De Wijde Wormer at a location almost hardly to reach. If you know the start of the dead end road, than you will find it by car.
This type of little wooden (or steel) windmills were used for removing rainwater on the surrounding wet lands into a water course situated at higher level. Now electrical pumps are common.
Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments.

The iconic windmills, unfortunately I had blank cloudless skies, at the end of an evening running around like a headless chicken taking blue hour photos of all of the island landmarks.

I love the 16-35mm f/4 for its versatility, but distortion at 16mm can be horrendous unless pointed straight ahead. This one needed a lot of vertical transformation in Lightroom to tilt that windmill (at the expense of a lot of crop) ;-)

Today I traveled with a good friend of mine to enjoy the swedish landscape, sun and food ! After short discusion we decided to visit Lacko Castle. Almost 2,5 hours driving from the norwegian borders. We did off course use longer time because of many nice motives in our way. This is one of them. Have a nice day friends !
It is believed that there has been a windmill, on this site, since 1596.
The current building was built around 1800 and continued working as a flour mill until about 1875. After falling into disuse the windmill and the land, on which it stands, was purchased by Birkenhead Corporation and restored from 1894
Over Windmill in Cambridgeshire.The building was derelict in 1950. It was purchased in 1960 for £100 by Graham Chris Wilson, who fitted a pair of patent sails and a pair of stones from the derelict mill at Upwell, enabling the mill to work again in October 1969. It has been restored since and is worked by its owner, who also rebuilt the cap, the brake-wheel and most of the internal timberwork. It is now operated with two double shuttered and two single shuttered patent clockwise sails with leading boards.
This Wirral landmark is set against a lovely blue sky and someone's sheep dog has photo bombed the shot. There's the history of this rather well preserved windmill on the Friends of Bidston Hill website via this link:- www.bidstonhill.org.uk/heritage/trail05/
