Broad verges backed by banks,
Of mature Oak and Beech,
Race down Warwickshire,
Through the verdure of the country,
Stratford upon Avon and Shakespear,
The breathtaking castles of Kenilworth and Warwick,
Or and hour, quiet and peaceful, at the Bancroft Basin,
Live forever as the Chesterton Windmill turns the time.

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.
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.....
The Kinderdijk windmills are part of the UNESCO World Heritage .

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.
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 !
The glorious Chesterton Windmill in South Warwickshire set against a field of Rapeseed and a lovely fluffy cloud formation.
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/
