Depicted is the traditional windmill 'De Noorman' (the Norseman), built in 1852 and refurbished in 2013, situated in the center of the village of Westkapelle, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

PS: the name 'De Noorman' is related to the fact that the inhabitants of Westkapelle are descended from the Vikings.

What a grand windmill, and I really like the angle of this shot, it was so nice they took the time, and funding to renovate it in . A clear, detailed image, with good natural lighting, and color.

As handsome a structure that you can find! Absolutely gorgeous, Mr. C. I wonder if I could convince the big wigs in Ohio to build these instead of those ugly new fangled turbine whatchamacallits?

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967
