The song for a windmill.............
Am back!!!! In Florida after a whirlwind of vacations.....married to the man I've loved and cared for more than half a decade now :) And back on the blogscene with this Quixotic li'l piece (remember "tilting at windmills", anyone????) from the pristine northernmost part of the Netherlands..........One of the most romantic part of our stay in the charming Groningen province (and city) was the sight of windmills almost singing with the breeze!!! Sigh!!!! "Up with the sun, the breeze arose, Across the talking corn she goes, And smooth she rustles far and wide Through all the voiceful countryside. Through all the land her tale she tells; She spins, she tosses, she compels The kites, the clouds, the windmill sails And all the trees in all the dales......................" (RL Stevenson) We cud not make it to the ever-popular Kinderdijk to witness the beauty of a score of windmills in action and this one is no Moulin Rouge (Red Windmill).......it was fascinating a place, nevertheless. The landscape refuses to fade from the memories I will cherish all my life.....the rivulets, the dykes, the sea, the canals, picturesque villages, the pastures .................................... Our li'l "Dutch treat" :) Wud have loved to shoot this at sunset too.....but Sunshine was a rarity in the parts we were staying at this time of the year. On a tangent, can you spot the two ppl framed with the windmill in the shot???? They seem dwarfed by the mill, don't they ..the pic's here for the two of them....:)....they are two of my fav ppl or as i call them Los Muchachos :)
