Old Windmills of North Holland

Google Street View

These windmills built in 1630s were part of 52 mills which once existed in this region to drain the Schermer polder (low-lying tract) of North Holland. Today only 12 of those windmills have survived.

Google Street View

While roaming the Google streets I came across this old windmill in the Garrelsweer, Groningen, The Netherlands. The Dutch country side is full of windmills.

Info about this windmill: De Hollandsche Molen (In Dutch) (English Translation)

I have been experimenting with digital modification of the Google Street Views to make the image into a piece of art. Here is the modified version titled "Windmill At Dusk" as shared in "Artistic Google" album of Google+.
