Kinderdijk windmills: unique & iconic water management.

A significant part of Holland is situated up to approximately 7 meters below sea level. The Dutch don’t notice any of this though, because an incredibly innovative and intricate system keeps the ever-rising seawater from flooding the land. Even during spring tide, the Dutch are safely guarded from being washed away…
The most important aspect of UNESCO World Heritage Kinderdijk is undoubtedly the unique collection of 19 authentic windmills, which are considered a Dutch icon throughout the entire world.

New on 500px : The Lost Mills by Brains11 by Brains11

There was a lot of thick mist during my latest trip to Kinderdijk. After about one and a half hour it slowly disappeared after sunrise. I took 3 shots in that period of time, the first one while I could hardly see a thing, the second when the closest windmill started to show up and the last one when the other mills slowly became visible. Of course my gear was not moved during that time. In post I blended these 3 images and this was the final result………..

Zaanse Schans is a small village on the banks of the Zaan river, complete with tidy green houses, real working windmills.

In the 17th and 18th century there were thousands of windmills along the dykes; sawmills, dye mills, oil mills etc that powered the Dutch economy. The Zaanse Schans village gives you a picture of what it must have been like. Not all the windmills and buildings started out in Zaanse Schans, many of them were moved here from the region as they came under threat from urban development across North Holland.
