In 2017 it's 800 years ago that Middelburg, a town in Zeeland, The Netherlands was granted city rights. On this occasion there will a lot of events/activities all over the place. In several places on the ramparts around the old part of the town, the number 800 was applied with crocuses.

This yesterday, March 24th, 2017, taken image shows you the latter. My next post will show you a detailed image.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The mill is standing proud with the number 800 showing the heritage of Middelburg. Nice capture Cornelius.

A great shot Mr. C. - I like how the base of the windmill reflects in the water.

Really like the backside view if this beautiful windmill - really like the rippled reflection in the water - so what's with the steering wheel up - is it for controlling the blades

Correct Pat, with it the miller can turn the upper part of the mill (so the blades as well) into the proper wind direction.
