Windmills of Holland

[thejenx]

Lately I see a lot of cool articles, video's, etc. about windmills.
Today I came across this 3D from "meermolen de onrust" and decided I had to share this one.
It's a working mill and was in operation during the capture. You can go through the entire mill and on 2 places outside.

Thanks for sharing that. Super interesting site, and very impressive engineering on the windmills.
That was great to explore and led to further reading on the history of the Netherlands.

We have a working windmill near here, that was built or moved to Savanah IL by the Dutch settlers. Very interesting.

Working wind power, long before wind power was cool... and still in operation. Awesome.

i love the hydrology of any area and enjoy learning of their water works and how they manage things. thank you for the link, i did a quick spin around the mill to see inside.

Do you have pictures of that mill?

We got quite a few, in my area we have 2 kinds of frogs, 1 toad and 1 kind of newt:
Rana temporaria
Rana esculenta complex
Bufo bufo
Lissotriton vulgaris

I've never seen any of the other kinds in my country.

Frogs and toads:

Pretty cool site, had never seen it before, but it shows all the animals in my country per specie.
