Photographer's Note
Holland is famous for its wind mills and Kinderdijk is the best place to see them. The location is about 30 minutes by bus from Rotterdam and during the warm season there are organized boat trips leavind from the city center.
In 1997 the mills of Kinderdijk were included on the World Heritage list of UNESCO.
The wind mills drain the excess water into the river Lek. The oldest mill goes back to the 13th century. 700 years ago the Dutch knew and had the techology to control the water level! I think there is no need to mention that the site is a few metres under the sea level...
Many of the mills are not working any more, either because of the depreciation or because of the preservation plan. An electrical pumping station was built back in 1981 to monitor the water level.
This is a place to see if visiting the Netherlands. More details can be found at www.kinderdijk.nl

Bon WE de Pâques.

I think the windmills and the reflections already make a good composition. This one is nice in black and white. Thanks for sharing! :)

Yes, I like the black and white as well. Some noise, but that's okay. It's not always good weather in the Netherlands and in November, blank and white is a good choice for what otherwise would have been a grayish picture anyhow.

Hi Adi
Your new upload took me to this one!
This is really great work, and i am very impressed that there is no PP involved in this.
The composition is really catching, and i like the grainy look on it.
Nice work
