Testament
One of the several windmills at Kinderdijk Netherlands stands still in the morning sun. These were built back in 1738 to keep water out of fields and villages nearby and some are still used and operational to this day. Most of the heavy duty of pumping the water is now on the backs of two modern pumping stations. The site has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since the early 1990's. They are really something to see up close and personal!
