They are huge. I was told each blade was delivered as an extra long Simi-truck load.
On a recent trip, we passed a convoy of semi-trucks, each loaded with one colossal segment of the tower. I think we saw at least 8 trucks, (no blades in the group). The photos are only a few inches tall, but believe me, these mills are giant.

Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, partly in the municipality Nieuw-Lekkerland, partly in the municipality of Alblasserdam. It lies about 15km east of Rotterdam.
The village is situated in a polder at the confluence of the rivers Lek and Noord. 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 were placed on the list of UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997.
I thought this was going to be a very boring sunset ... but in retrospect, the simplicity of the color transition offsetting the windmill with no clouds or other sky features etc. has made this one of my favorite shots.
This is from the 2007 Holland, MI Tulip festival.
Zaanse Schans is an area quite close to Amsterdam where you can find some old windmills and other authentic Dutch houses. It is a major tourist attraction (more than 1.5 million visitors a year). Some windmills are standing on their original spot, some others have been taken to Zaanse Schans.
A quick snap of the Post Mill at Mountnessing, on the way to drop-off gifts at my folks. I was lucky as windmill was nicely lit, with dark clouds behind
Anyone who knows me knows I can't pass a windmill without a comment, lecture on simpler times, or waiting for me to take a photo which i like. I am guilty of all those things. The above photo is almost all in-camera as I have only adjusted the exposure down a little and cropped to a square. Yes, on a clear day, the skies out here are that blue.
