Ice Cold Sunny Walk by ienemien
We go for a Great Winterwalk to the frozen fields in Fochteloerveen. The weather was Beautiful, freezing cold -5C but so Sunny and a clear blue sky… / No wind and the view was great!! The Sun set the old grass in a golden glow and you can see the frozen water and ice on the path we walk. / My son Silvan, my little doggie Cathy and my sisters dog Gizmo. Januari 6, 2009. Fochteloerveen, Provence Drenthe/Friesland, The Netherlands.

When the skaters had gone by jchanders
It was quite long after sunset before the last skaters had left the other evening at Kinderdijk. What remained were the silhouettes of the 18th-century windmills standing out against a beautiful evening sky. For those of you who do not know about the specific role of these windmills in such places as Kinderdijk, just the following. As wind was the only power to drive a mill in the Netherlands before the age of steam and electricity, it was used for all sorts of mills, corn-mills, sawing-mills and waterpumping-mills. The mills at Kinderdijk were such pump-mills, used to pump and keep the low-lying polderland dry. You needed quite a lot of such wind-mills for that purpose in certain places such as here at Kinderdijk. In most cases only a few of these mills have survived. At Kinderdijk you can still find an extraordinary high number within a small area, i.e. 19 mills – it is this sight which makes Kinderdijk one of the touristic hotspots of the Netherlands and has secured its place as a world heritage site. While electric pumps have taken over the function of these mills generally, in some places they are restored to their original function, as a new and very old way of using energy in a natural way. Few people actually realize that in case of a really long-lasting power failure we would all get wet feet in most of the western and northern parts of the Netherlands. More windmills needed badly!

Winter pleasure at Kinderdijk by jchanders
Some skaters on the ice at one of the most famous tourist spots of the Netherlands, the mills at Kinderdijk, taken after sunset. There is nothing like skating on natural ice to turn the Dutch into a crowd of fitness fans. Due to the climate change natural ice strong enough for outdoor skating has been very scarce these years. So the present wave of cold weather is enjoyed with all the more pleasure. Kinderdijk, 6th January 2009, 4.59 pm / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 135 mm / F 5,6, 1/60, ISO 800

Connecting land to water by PeterBusser
The Koppelpoort is a medieval gate in the Dutch town Amersfoort. Constructed around 1425, the Koppelpoort is a sublime example of medieval defensive architecture. It is a combination of a land and water-gate and is part of the second city wall of Amersfoort, which was constructed between 1380 and 1450 AD. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koppelpoort)
