I had to go there this afternoon to take care of some stuff. Seeing as the weather was great and I've been wanting to try out my new fisheye lens there anyway I took the camera and went for a walk past the windmills.

Nicely done !

Thank you. Maybe I'll get some shots of the insides of one once the display-windmills open again for the summer season.

Oho, that will be interesting. This windmills used to serve as pumping stations, right ?

I like the composition in #5 the best; I can do without the fisheye lens effect though.

Yep, it's how we got this land dry. We're still living under sea level here. ^^
Some are still in use actually, although it's mostly for show... Modern pumps are a tad faster.

Thanks. I kind of like the effect sometimes but I still gotta get a bit of a feel for it which is why I've been trying out different things.
