Windmills in Kinderdijk (wintertime)
Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, in the province South Holland, about 15 km east of Rotterdam. Kinderdijk is situated in a polder at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best known Dutch tourist sites. They are a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of Kinderdijk's windmills during wintertime. Located in the picturesque village in South Holland, Netherlands, these 19 majestic windmills were constructed around 1740 to drain the surrounding polder. Considered as the largest concentration of old windmills in the country, they have become an iconic symbol of Dutch culture and a must-visit tourist destination. In this image captured by Frans Sellies, we are transported to a serene winter day where snow blankets the landscape. The cold temperature adds an ethereal charm to the scene as each windmill stands tall against a clear blue sky. The contrast between their rustic architecture and nature's pristine white canvas creates a visually striking composition. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this UNESCO World Heritage Site represents more than just architectural marvels; it embodies environmental conservation and sustainable energy generation. These historic structures harness the power of wind to provide fuel and electricity for generations past and present. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of both our rich cultural heritage and our responsibility towards preserving our planet for future generations. It serves as a testament to mankind's ingenuity while urging us to embrace renewable energy sources like wind power. Frans Sellies' skillful photography captures not only stunning landscapes but also tells stories that resonate with viewers worldwide.
