EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic windmills of Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands. With no people in sight, it allows us to fully appreciate the rich history and natural beauty of this remarkable place. Located in the Alblasserwaard region, about 15 km east of Rotterdam, Kinderdijk is nestled within a polder - a low-lying tract of land enclosed by dikes. To combat flooding and drain the polder, an ingenious system of 19 windmills was constructed around 1740. These historic structures form the largest concentration of old windmills in all of Holland. Against a picturesque backdrop featuring clear blue skies and flowing water, these traditional Dutch windmills stand tall as symbols of both cultural heritage and environmental conservation. They represent not only a fascinating glimpse into Dutch culture but also serve as powerful reminders of alternative energy sources from centuries past. Photographed by Frans Sellies with great attention to detail, this image captures every nuance that makes Kinderdijk so enchanting - from its serene surroundings to its architectural marvels. It serves as an invitation for travelers seeking unique travel destinations to immerse themselves in this timeless landscape. Whether you are captivated by history or drawn to sustainable energy solutions, this print offers an exquisite visual representation that will transport you straight into the heartland of Dutch tradition and innovation.
