Great crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus, Dutch: Fuut)
16 March 2017, Weipoldertse Vliet, Zoeterwoude.
summer time in the green heart of holland, somewhere near zoeterwoude-dorp, zuid holland, netherlands
This image was featured in my blogpost www.martijnvandernat.nl/on-my-way/
I pass this windmill every day, and I love how the yellow rapeseed in the bank of the ditch creates this colorful line of yellow leading towards the windmill. That and the lovely clouds to me invited me to try and capture this image. Hope you like!

The Promise
There is a saying in Dutch that literally translates After the rain Comes the sunshine. So to all my fellow Dutch hang in there! The storm will blow over!!!
Check out the story of my favorite windmill and a rainbow over at my blog: www.martijnvandernat.nl/the-story-my-favorite-windmill-an...
(c)2013-today www.martijnvandernat.nl
(Big Mill), Zoeterwoude - NL
This waterpump windmill adjacent of the Dutch town of Zoeterwoude was built in 1626 and is still working nearly 400 years later, although its duty has been taken over by a modern pump in the 1970s. In April 1973 it was damaged during a fierce storm. Repair took almost three years. It is well-mainained and is currently operated by a volunteer miller.

The Dutch weather's been behaving strange lately, the warmest day of March since anyone can remember followed by the coldest in just one weeks time! too bad the conditions do't play along… patience is a virtue but it takes loads and loads of effort at the moment...

The other side of Windmill15 is the real treat and the masterpiece of history hidden and that is out in this picture.The Zelden van Passe(aka The Great Westeinder called) is a polder just west of Zoeterwoude Village, along the A4. The mill dates from 1652 and was built for the drainage of the Great Westeind Polder. The mill has since 1962 held the Rhenish Mill Foundation. The mill is still a high iron paddlewheel of 6.90 m, the largest in the Netherlands.

Lush green fields stretch across Zoeterwoude, with winding waterways reflecting sunlight, creating a tranquil landscape.

The keys and the lions in the center are the coat of arms of Leiden.
Around you see the coats of arms of Holland, Rijnland, Leiderdorp, Zoeterwoude, Voorschoten, Wassenaar, Oegstgeest (all cities and villages around Leiden), and the family coat of arms of the Pape family.
The Pape family created a trust fund in 1922 to financially support "useful" activities. One wing of the Lakenhal museum (the Pape-wing) was built with their financial support.

16 March 2017, Weipoldertse Vliet, Zoeterwoude.
dramatic evening clouds reflecting in a lake on river aa near zoeterwoude-zuidbuurt, zuid holland, netherlands
At this location, the highway A44 will be widened from 2 times 2 lanes to 2 times 4 lanes. This widening is to the Ommedijk junction. This widening is part of the RijnlandRoute. As a result of this widening, a new viaduct has to be built. The widened road from Katwijk (ir G. Tjalmaweg) will also be connected to this junction.
The RijnlandRoute is a road connection from Katwijk to the junction West at Leiden, then from this junction via the highway A44 to the junction Ommedijk and from here to the highway A4 at Zoeterwoude. An important part of the project is the bored tunnel with a length of 2,5 km south of Leiden between Ommedijk and Zoeterwoude, which connects the highway A44 and highway A4. This tunnel is located at a depth of 20 m below ground level
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. The total cost of this project is approximately 1 billion Euro

This was in the beginning of the snow and ice period, I had to protect my Nikon gear with a lot of plastic:-)) against the heavy falling snow. I did not turn this capture in B&W, or did any treatment, except adding a little bleu for a more "cold" mood in it!
