Travel Tuesday

As I was thinking about what kind of post to put together for today, the idea of re-establishing a series of travel images might be of interest. So here we go, bringing back some of those moments that captured my eye and imagination. Let’s start this week with the country of my birth: the Netherlands.

Here’s a moment from travels back to the home country…

Windmills Abound

In 2022 I visited Kinderdijk, well-known for its abundance of windmills, for the first time. Even though I grew up less than an hour from Kinderdijk, the thought of going there never crossed my mind. After all windmills are all over the country with about 1,200 of them still remaining; once there were 10,000 of them, but technology has replaced most of them.

With this image I wanted to provide a sense of yesteryear, when 10,000 windmills would have dotted the countryside. I’m curious how many of you will be able to find all of the ones in this image…
