Hi Riet,
I just love the juxtaposition of the modern in the background with the windmill in the forefront.

The blue sky is amazing.

The windmill looks to be in excellent shape and is a lovely location, although it's interesting to see the modern building off in the background. It seems like the Netherlands has a lot of beautiful blue skies. What a great place to live.

Beter dan een ansichtkaart...;-)

Fijn weekend!

I will always love seeing great photos of windmills. And this is certainly that!

I love the dutch windmills. I just don't understand how they work. It looks like the wind would pass through those grids instead of turning them, but what do I know?
They still make wonderful photos.

Holland equals windmills. That;s what I learn when I was little.

This is exactly the scene I'll picture now when I think of the Netherlands. So picaresque!
