Hello, friends! In late spring we visited one of THE most magical locations I’ve ever experienced: the windmills of Kinderdijk in the Netherlands. Imagine a perfect day of billowing clouds, soft Dutch light and the enchanting structures that are the symbol of Holland. Such a classic scene, right out of a painting. I thought it would be fun to pair images from that never-to-be-forgotten day with a few of charming windflowers, one of my favorite late summer blooms.
While traveling, I shot quite a lot of video footage which I look forward to sharing with you in the months to come. Here is the first and I hope it gives you a taste of what a day at Kinderdijk is like:

p.s. just for fun, here is one more video that I took in the Dutch countryside. Whenever I am getting to stressed about things, this lightens the mood. :)

Beautiful! And what fun videos!
What a beautiful montage bringing back memories of the lovely Netherlands–what a great way to start my day!
amazingly lovely .. now i am thinking maybe a visit to Kinderdijk while i am in Amsterdam .. it seems its a mere hour away by train …
What a dream job you have! Those blooms, those windmills and wildflowers…wow. Hope you post again soon and share the rest of them.
I love the videos, Georgianna, and what a perfect pairing; the windmills and the wind flowers. Truly so beautiful.
I wish you a wonderful evening! xo.
Love the name ‘windflowers’, as you must know by now, also my very favourite, even more now after this year of many disasters gardenwise but these windflowers are still standing.
Perfectly combined with the windmills of Kinderdijk in Holland.

So beautiful! Soft Dutch light – quite a contrast (literally) to our harsh Aussie light. Always a challenge for us Down Under! :-)

Hi dear Georgianna,
Gosh……. such long time no see and now you were almost in the neighbourhood. Such gorgeous pictures you made of the Kinderdijk ‘molens’ as we call them. They are unique indeed, aren’t they. I used to drive along that road a lot as i’ve lived in that neighbourhood years ago! You could have come over for coffee then, but now i’m much further away from there. Anyway, you did manage to make the most beautiful dreamy pictures again. I love that mauve color of the Anemones along with the soft blue sky pictures. So typical Dutch indeed! You’re amazing. I hope all is well with you!
Blessings and hugs,
Ingeborg
How lovely to see these windmills – I didn’t even know this place existed – I wonder if they are still working? Also I have never heard the Japanese anemone called a windflower – what a romantic name!
Beautiful photos – I do love to see your work.
So serene and beautiful!
Your photos are wonderfully beautiful and breathtaking !
What a peaceful place… I loved the videos, so calming with the birdsong. A happy week to you Georgianna :)
Dear Georgianna,
I loved seeing your beautiful photos of the windmills and the windflowers – looks so tranquil and picturesque.
Also enjoyed the lovely videos.
Have a happy week
hugs
