This image was taken om April 19th, 2017 while I was on a photo shoot on the peninsula South-Beveland, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

Because of the attached sails to two of the blades (only one is visible however) one can see that this traditional windmill is grinding now.

The depicted windmill is the, in 1851 built, 'Vijf Gebroeders' ('Five Brothers') situated adjacent to the village of Heinkenszand.

A lovely scenic picture of your traditional country!...

The mill and the river pulls the eye into that place, and I can imagine the horse drawn boats to collect and deliver the grain!

One of the things I love about Caedes aside from the people is how we get to see views of the world from the person's perspective. Great shot, please keep them coming.

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

The Dutch have been great innovators and engineers reclaiming land from the sea. Beautifully shot with that happy crane in the foreground. The land looks so lush.
