Last month I returned from a 3-week family holiday in the Netherlands, and came home
with several thousand photos.
I'm slowly working my way through the photos, and will be posting some of them on my
blog in the coming months.
While I have been to the Netherlands several times before, this was the first time I have been there in summer, and we had a great time, making the most of the very long evenings (with daylight savings, it gets dark at about 10:30pm).
Here's a typical Dutch scene, a windmill, near Diever, in the province of Drenthe, in the north of the Netherlands. We were driving past, and stopped on the side of the road so I could capture this windmill. In the first couple of photos I shot, the windmill was in the shade, but then the sun broke through the clouds and lit up the windmill, resulting in the photo below.
