Nice to see it is still used for grinding, Sea. What will they be grinding--corn or wheat? A beautiful sky and the grass looks like it is windblown. Wonderful composition. Good health to you and yours.
I don't think this is Holland..I think It's Trumpton. Windy Miller,Windy Miller sharper than a thorn, Like a mouse he's spry and nimble when he grinds the corn. Like a bird he'll watch the wind and listen for the sound, Which says he has the wind he needs to make the sails go round. Wherever it is it magic...R.
I like your perspective on this windmill scene. The windmill is beautiful underneath the fluffy clouds. I can tell it was a windy day by the way the grass is leaning to the left. Wonderful capture, Cornelius.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

They still grind grain in this fashion. I am so pleased to hear that. This reminds me of the old grist mill at the reconstructed colonial village in a nearby town. A most pleasing scene, Cornelius. You always capture such fine color too.
Wat een klauterpartij heb je hier aan gehad, Cornelius....LOL ! Maar alle gekheid op een stokkie, het resultaat is geweldig ! Chapeau, goede vriend ! John
Mr C, I always look at pictures at full size. I come here to see the art. Your pictures are, to me, art. I do thank you for telling me what was going on, for without your narrative, I would have been clueliess as to what the men were doing.
People aren't going to remember the things you do. They're going to remember how you made people feel. Be kind, gracious, and appreciative. Dan Winters - Photographer.
Although so often photographed,the Dutch windmills will always keep a certain mystery .I love the serene atmosphere of this one.It seems to come out straight from a fairytale book.
Wonderful composition.
Good health to you and yours.
