The windmills at Kinderdijk are a group of windmills in the Alblasserwaard polder, in the province of South Holland, Netherlands. The mills are listed as national monuments and the entire area is a protected village view since 1993. They have been a

The beautiful medieval Dutch government buildings and the adjoining pond, lit up on a pretty summer evening. The little round tower on the left is our Prine Minister's office. Next year the long overdue renovations start on the whole complex, so we will probably be looking at scaffolding for several years.
After the blue hour shots at the floating pavilion, I was just to late for some blue hour shots of the Erasmus bridge. Anyway, I had a try, they are not bad, but I pefer when there still is just a little light in the sky.
The floating pavilion, was one of the locations I wanted to grab some shots. As usual, I took my time for framing and I waited for the perfect moment. The lights switched on and there we go.

Rotterdam has so many oppurtunities to grab some great shots. This isn't my best one from Rotterdam, but it has some cool atmosphere.
The Cube Houses, was one of the places I did't wan't to miss in Rotterdam. This really is some twisted architecture. When you find the right spot, it's just like a kaleidoscope. Saw several times this particular shot on the net, always been amazed by its geometry. Sitting on my butt, taking the time for framing, didn't want to make mistakes for this one.

The Red Apple, Rotterdam, is a splendid bluiding. It's red facade makes it unique. The sun shining on it, it stands out to all other surrounding buildings. You can't miss it.

Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, belonging to the municipality of Molenwaard, in the province South Holland, about 15 km east of Rotterdam. Kinderdijk is situated in a polder in the Alblasserwaard at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best-known Dutch tourist sites. They have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
After that iconic shot I upped earlier, I tried out some more long exposure shots of the cube houses. Again I took my time for framing it. When I reviewed this shot on my camera, I was completely blown away. I think it's my most lucky long exposer shot ever made. The cloud movement is perfectly parallel to the roof, from left to right, amazing.
After a whole day walking around in Rotterdam, I ended with this location. I blended 2 long exposures with a 5 bracketed shot to obtain this result.

Nelson Mandela Bridge, Zoetermeer, The Netherlands. Architect: Johan Bak (1992) I used to be here many times because of work, and really hated the place: cold, ugly and unattractive, waiting for a train that was always late. Not having been there for years, in gorgeous weather, I found a different atmosphere.
Blue and yellow are the colours of the city of Zoetermeer. We used to call it Sweet Lake City.

Rotterdam is a very modern city, with several skyscrapers. Looking up, can give a very interesting view. This location is known through history. It was the first shipping line between Holland and New York. Cargo started in 1809, passengers in 1873.
