The Windmills of Kinderdijk

The windmills of Kinderdijk in a wonderful light atmosphere.
On one of my trips to the Netherlands, I also went to the windmills of Kinderdijk. I was hoping to take a good photo home with me. In my opinion, I seem to have succeeded in doing so with this picture.
The area around Kinderdijk is definitely not to be missed when visiting the Netherlands.

=================================================

Kinderdijk was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. The village is a fascinating rural landscape with a total of 19 listed windmills from the 18th century.
The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the most famous sights in the Netherlands. It is a group of 19 wind pumps that are used to pump the accumulating water out of the polders to make the land usable for agriculture. The mills pump the water into the Nieuwen Waterschap, which flows into the river Lek. They were built in the 18th century after the older canal systems proved ineffective.
Nowadays, pumps (first diesel pumps, now electric pumps) have taken over the work of the mills. Nevertheless, the mills are still very popular. They are put back into operation on special occasions such as Landelijke Molendag (National Mill Day, see also Vereniging De Hollandsche Molen). One of the mills on the Nederwaard polder can even be visited from the inside, some others are privately owned and used as residential buildings.
