Just steps away from Amsterdam Haarlem is a bit of a forgotten place,because all the attention goes to the big neighbour.
Haarlem is a place with lots of history and many interesting places and lovely old shops in the old centre.
Among one of my favourite spots is the big mill De Adriaan on the banks of the Spaarne river.
Dated back from 1778 it was used for many different jobs,until it was completely distroyed by a big fire in 1932.
Many years people were trying to rebuild it but the local politics didnt support until 1991 when the ""stichting molen De Adriaan""(foundation) was formed.
Finally they convinced the Haarlem council,with the help of the people from Haarlem and the local business-people(900.000 guilders),to pay the 2.500.000 guilders needed for the reconstruction in 1999.
The opening was in 2002!,now its a museum and party-place for weddings.

Hi Jan,
What .....you were in Haarlem five days ago? Well you captured the "Adriaan" very well, superb warm light, fine composition using the rule of third. Looks like a painting from the Golden Age Jan, great posting!

Beautiful light, Jan, as we can see on the old master paintings!
Excellent composition with the predominance of the windmill and the reflections of light on the facades. The roll of clouds is spectacular and adds much at the ambience. Excellent! Annie

Great colored photo.Very nice sky.
Regards Zoran

wow Jan, colors in this shot (late day?) are so warm .. fantastic. The light on the buildings and on the clouds is lovely, and the contrasting blue in the sky is beautiful. Great shot.

Hi Jan,
A superb capture.
You have captured the evening light well.
The photo kind of glows with warmth.
Beautiful colours.
Regards.
Janak

Beautifully taken shot - great light and rich colours, understated dynamics: you have allowed shadows to remain shadows and the indistinct to remain slightly hidden. In a time of HDR and post-treatments bringing out every detail for scrutiny, I admire that kind of restraint and understatement.

Perfect exposure of evening light and shadows Simply delightful TFS
warm regards
David

Hi Jan...great shot...beautiful colors and details...nice work.

Hallo Jan,

Wat een uitstekende landschap ziet u hebben we deze prachtige stad van Haarlem, heel mooi licht en kleuren.
Met de banken op de voorgrond en de mooie molen.
Het is een zeer mooie compositie, die doet me denken aan een schilderij.
Goede dag en ik dank u voor ons te delen.

The light playing on the windmill and houses is the main story but the empty seats in the dark add complexity and interest to complete the telling. A lovely photo.

Hi Jan,
How re you dear friend?
Great photographic ambience with saturated colors and good using of light

Je hebt hier echt wel op het mooie licht en de juiste lucht gewacht.Een bijzondere sfeer .Ik denk door de scherpte en het kontrast.

Groet Ben

Hi Jan,
Beautiful picture and lovely place,
Excellent POV. and details,
good colors and light,
Beautiful windmill and composition,
nicely done,
Michel

Hello Jan,

This really is eye-catching!
The warm light is amazing! (Did you capture it in the early evening?) It appears that the sun is casting its own spotlight on the big mill and its immediate neighbours.
Fine composition and sharply focussed details.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Jan

Superb light you have capture in this from the evening sun, really make the windmill stand out.
Very good posting.
TFS
