To a lot of you this traditional windmill is well known. It's 'The Hope' in Middelburg, Zeeland, the Netherlands, captured by me recently when it was surrounded by Fall tones.

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

Edit: please see my additional comment below.

Not often I get to be the first to comment on one of your great photos Sea. Guess staying up late tonight was worth it.

The windmill is in such a pristine setting that I can't imagine it ever taking a bad photo. Your natural framing is good.

I like the difference in the shades of blue. Sky versus water.
The fall colors in the trees adds a lot as well.

Some might wish the entire Windmill was in the reflection but I can visualize it so it is not a big deal to me. Sometimes I think it is good to make us use our minds for more then forgetting something. :)

Truly a good post as usual.
Good health to you and yours.

Tick wrote above: "Some might wish the entire Windmill was in the reflection."

My primary intention was to show the Fall colors around the mill but not the reflections. Therefore I have chosen the horizontal format which implies that the reflections can be seen only partially.

To fulfil the request about the entire windmill in the reflections, I'll post later an image, taken on the same day, in the vertical format.

The reflections make this a 'double' delight!...Not showing the whloe windmill in the water has it's own rewards!....It gives (To me) a sense of purpose in the composition

I have always admired your photos of this windmill but this one is even more prettier than all the others due to the colourful autumn scene. Excellent shot Cornelius.

This is a wonderful shot of this mill with the Autumn colours surrounding it. I like the way you have caught in your shot an over-hanging branch too. A real picture postcard if ever there was one! Fav'd and thank you for sharing!
