Kinderdijk...this is like a paradise .... so many windmills, and that too in working condition. WOW!!!!

It was day 2 when we all went to this fabulous place. Yes, I was amazed to see all this, and also fun of wearing cloggs, and climbing windmill with the miller..

And then my state of mind was like THANK YOU GOD for this opportunity to see all this. I was just trying to soak all that beauty in my mind and heart.

Then we'd a boat trip there, and sorry weather was cloudy and gloomy, it even rained. This picture was taken from the boat.

Enjoy Dutch land...and have a wonderful weekend,I'll be in class all this weekend :(

I love the clarity of the details here. Superb composition (doesn't need a millimetre more space :D)
Great posting once again
TFS
silke
:D

Considering the conditions Vandana a wonderful image. Well composed with lovely colour and light. If it were composed with more space to the left the main windmill would have become too central in my opinion, just right as is. TFS,
David

Hi Vandana

Marvellous repetition of the windmills, & they're all placed evenly on a dynamic, diagonal line, along the canal. Tfs!

Hi Vandana
I think the cloggs get you in the mood - Neet perspective in this one. We have pass through the airport in Amsterdam so missed out on all this - got to go back for a real visit. Like the DOF here.

I like the compo, Vandana... the closest mill prominently - and entirely - in the left corner, then the repeated mills in the perspective which is accented by the river bank.
Judging by the amount of lights on the ground, it probably is very nice after dusk as well.
