DUTCH WINDMILLS

Day 4 – Brussels holiday.
It was my brother-in-law’s idea that we take an excursion to Amsterdam. The long trip was boring, very different to the one to Luxembourg. So boring that he and my sister took a long nap in the coach. I was going to post a picture I took of them sound asleep on their seats but decided against it at the last moment. Along the road the weather changed to very cloudy and we had some rain along the way.
A beautiful break came when we stopped at Kinderdijk after two hours on the coach. There were so many lovely windmills spread out in the area and I think it is a touristic hub as you can see from the group of visitors walking along the canal.
Thank you so much for your views, for your comments and fav's. on yesterday's picture.

Great looking windmills but incongruous with the modern building in the background.

Such a lovely capture and scene, love all the windmills!

[Jacqueline]

Lol, I never knew they stood so near a city……. It’s indeed one of the places tourists like to visit. Hope you liked Amsterdam too….
I agree with you that traveling from Brussels to Amsterdam can be quite boring

Delightful capture of these beautiful windmills... A very popular place to visit. I haven't been here but have visited many in Amsterdam & I so love windmills.

[Babs]

How beautiful. As a child I always wanted to live in a windmill.

[Shepherdman]

So many windmills (or windpumps?) in the same location!

This is a fabulous shot. I would love to go to the Netherlands. It's crazy to think that I have never been there when England is so close.

This is a fascinating capture….the people give us scale & so many windmills all in one place! I think your trip just looked up!

I’m sure there is a famous painting that captures something similar to this delightful scene. Quite lovely.

[Ingrid]

I recognized this straight away because I grew up in that area! Lovely photo!

[william wooderson]

Rain?? What's that? You should use those windmills to send some our way!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice shot

[Pyrrhula]

You`ve past, and missed, my country side . I told those places I capture are very hidden.
This is for the tourist.

[Islandgirl]

We were there years ago at 6pm - the coach crowds etc. were just leaving. Nice photos, Dione, I'd missed you on FB. :-)
