Windmills of Holland

Many of you know that Holland is associated with many things: wooden shoes, gorgeous flowers, delicious cheese and ... windmills. On our drive home from Amsterdam, we decided to take a side trip down a winding road that leads to some farms and this spectacular windmill, which is 1 of many that are scattered throughout the Dutch countryside. The end of the day was slowly approaching and we absolutely had to capture the below photos to share.

Below is from another angle - standing there taking this photo felt like I could reach out and touch the windmill blades as they would spin towards me.

This one is Arnie's from further down-field - it has a powerful presence when you stand at its base as well as from a distance.
