As you might know, almost every traditional windmill in my country has a name. This, relative small, windmill however - situated near a village on the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands - is an exception to the rule. Think therefore that the inhabitants of the village has given it the family-name of the first miller. So the result is probably the for you rather strange name of 'Mill of Kwekkeboom'.
Image was taken in the summer of 2014.

I have had the pleasure of touring the inside of a few windmills when I visited your country. This one, while "small," is a giant to Don Quixote! Beautiful photography, Cornelius.

Music is what feelings sound like.
What a beautiful scene! The landscaping, the interesting details, the clouds that look like x's in the sky, and the sharp image of the mill...all wonderful!

Excellent clarity, very good composition and lovely colours in this beautiful scene Cornelius. The mill looks very nice against that sky.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
That Title sounds like a modern day 'Hip-Hop tune'! .. ..
I do love windmills, this is why Ann & I frequently go to Nofolk...Once had an opportunity to 'work' in one for a few hours in St.Fagan's-Wales .. .. .. .. .. You got a great vantage point for this one old mate

The windmills you have in the Netherlands are always a favorite for me. This is outstanding, Mr. C. I love the landscaping, also. Well done, Sir!

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967
Such a fascinating subject for me Mr. C. - a rare sight for us in the USA.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Mr. C., your narrative regarding the windmills was very enlightening. I would have never known that the windmills in your country were named! Your accompanying image has it all - beautiful foreground, leading lines, and, the focal point, the mighty windmill. Excellent shot, Mr. C.

Life is a Constant Audition
Cornelius - A beautiful mill, especially set among the formal gardens. The roadway on the left offers a nice leading line for the eye to follow in taking in this fine scenery. Wonderful photography. Thad
