EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of a windmill on a serene winter evening in the Netherlands. The mill, known as a wipmolen or hollow post mill, was constructed in 1830 with the purpose of draining a polder - an area of land reclaimed from water through dike construction and drainage canals. The image exudes tranquility and tradition, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Dutch society. Against a backdrop of snow-covered landscapes, this built structure stands tall as a symbol of both environmental conservation and social issues surrounding sustainable resources. As night falls, the sky transforms into shades of twilight, creating an ethereal atmosphere that is further enhanced by the presence of a full moon. The absence of people allows for complete immersion in nature's splendor while emphasizing the solitude and peacefulness enveloping this picturesque scene. Frans Sellies skillfully captures every detail with his photography expertise. From the intricate railing to the majestic wind turbine atop the traditional windmill, each element contributes to an awe-inspiring composition that celebrates Dutch culture and its reliance on wind power. This stunning print serves as a reminder not only of our connection to nature but also highlights humanity's ability to harness renewable energy sources for sustainable development. It is truly an exquisite piece that transports viewers into a world where time seems to stand still amidst winter's embrace.
