In the bus that brought us back from Keukenhof to Amsterdam, I had the chance to take a rather successful photo despite the difficult conditions. Usually, photos from a bus are missed, and I don't take my camera out there.
Here, we discover a glimpse of the rich Dutch plain and the canals that criss-cross it.

Canal de Hollande
Dans le bus qui nous ramenait de Keukenhof à Amsterdam, j'ai eu la chance de prendre une photo assez réussie malgré les conditions difficiles de prise. Habituellement, les photos en bus sont ratées, et je n'y sors pas mon appareil photo.
On y découvre un aperçu de la riche plaine hollandaise et des canaux qui la sillonnent.

I am always amazed at the Tulip fields in Holland. The vivid display of colour these stunning flowers display is simply a joy to watch, I had to take this shot. Looking back through my catalogue I came across this capture from a few years ago, reminding me of the freedom and travel, and looking forward to seeing it again soon.
Streefkerk is a town in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Molenlanden, and lies on the southside of the river Lek, about 20 kilometres east of Rotterdam.
In 2004, the town of Streefkerk had 2600 inhabitants. The built-up area of the town was 0.37 km², and contained 628 residences. The statistical area "Streefkerk", which also can include the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 2,600.
Streefkerk was a separate municipality until 1986, when it became part of Liesveld. The latter has been part of Molenwaard since 2013.
On the track in the new year, around Heinenoord.

Sunny summer day in the Dutch countryside with all it takes: the mill, the duck on river, cows and even bicycles.
Vlist River and polders at Bonrepas near Schoonhoven, Holland.
This week's theme of Macro Mondays is "Just White Paper". I did not know that I could have so much fun with just a piece of white paper!
I have folded a piece of white paper and - because I just cannot shoot without color (sorry for that) - shone a small red light against the edges of the sheet. The shot was backlit by daylight.
Thank you for your views, comments and maybe even faves! I appreciate it!
HMM everyone!

One day, the mist, the light, it was there. Mind the speed, only 30 km. Going to school or work, on a dike, travel in the dutch style , on bicycle
The design and operation of a windmill depended on various characteristics of the wind such as wind speed and changes in wind speed, wind direction and changes in wind direction, wind turbulence, and the height of the wind above the ground. An average windspeed of 15 to 25 miles per hour and a prevailing wind were necessary for operation of a mill. The critical component of a mill's operation was the sails. The force of the wind on the sails caused them to turn and rotate the axle, or windshaft, on which they were set. The brake wheel, located inside the top of the mill, also was attached to the windshaft, and its movement drove the millstones and all other machinery inside the mill.
Mills usually had four sails, but five, six, and eight-sailed mills were also built. The earilest sails were wooden, cloth-covered frames known as common sails. They were light and powerful but had to be stopped for the miller to furl the sails. As windmill design advanced, the cloth sails were replaced with sails with shutters. In 1807, William Cubitt invented a sail which could be adjusted while the sails were turning. The shutters of this sail could be opened and closed automatically and worked like venetian blinds to aid in utilizing the wind. A windmill's sails had to always be square into the "eye of the wind" as the mill was designed and balanced to resist pressure from the front only. If a mill was tail-winded, the cloths or shutters could be blown out, the cap blown off, or the mill itself blown over, often with the miller in it. Because the wind changes, the mill had to be capable of being turned into the wind whatever the direction. This was called "winding the mill." The turning gear was the tail pole, and bodily force was used to effect the turn.
