Nineteen windmills at Kinderdijk ("Children's Dike") comprise a Unesco World Heritage Site. The Netherlands would have returned to the sea without the invention of windmills to pump water from the developed areas, up to the rivers and on to the sea. These days, steam and diesel machines do the work, but the windmills remain.
I return late today. New photos from Hartford should begin on Tuesday, though I will no doubt sprinkle in occasional photos from the trip.

The windmills on the horizon have the quality of a Dutch landscape painting.
I never knew that the windmills were for the purpose of water management.
A very iconic shot of this area. I am enjoying pics from the trip!
Beautiful photo! I love the misty look and the silhouettes of the windmills.

Extremely well captured Jack. The windmills in the mist lead me to think this was a morning shot.
What an amazing scene.

Now this would have been a place for Vermeer.
