This is another picture of this series. It's taken in the so called 'Zaanse Schans' (a historic open-air heritage village near the city of Zaandam, The Netherlands).

The 'Zaanse Schans' is a Dutch popular tourist attraction offering insights into traditional Dutch crafts, and architecture, but mainly traditional Dutch windmills.

Depicted is the windmill 'De Gekroonde Poelenburg', a rare paltrok style sawmill (a kind of post mill found in Germany and The Netherlands).

It's one of only two remaining functional paltrok mills in this region, historically used for sawing timber.
