Almost every traditional windmill in the Netherlands (aka Holland) has its own name. This one on the seafront in Flushing, Zeeland is called 'Oranjemolen' (Orange Mill). It has nothing to do with its color. The mill was given its name because it was bordering the gardens of a now vanished palace of the Prince of Orange. It's the only mill in the Netherlands on a seafront. It was built around 1650 and in 1968 the mill was refurbished. It's grinding up till now.

I hope you'll like this image. Thanks in advance for your comment.

It could double as a lighthouse, SEA.
Perfectly balanced scene per usual.
I was asked to approve this image and I couldn't do it fast enough.
Another Dutch treat from the Master.

That is as handsome a windmill as I have ever seen. And what a great location! Marvelous shot, Mr. C. The ship looks great in the shot, too.

There is a bit of History (I believe) that these were also used as signaling stations during war-times!

Lovely clean image..and I like that you caught the ship in too

Wonderful composition, SEA...especially like the windmill and being close to the water I can see where it could double as a lighthouse or signalling station as Tick and Bob mentioned.

Cornelius...great to hear from you. A Navy man always looking to the water. Of course quite distinctive of your country. Picture is like a postcard...gerry

It is certainly a beautiful windmill Cornelius. The passing vessel and blue sky really compliment your photo.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
