Hi Ron Westbroek
You have mastered the backlight

I was also there last year... in the morning without chinese tourists. It was amazing! We had rainy weather the days before and even two hours before my walk. And then the sun comes up... wow. Hard to describe the feeling. Better to show you some pictures from me.

Shan That's a bascule bridge which was build to cross the river to the right side from the windmills.

Beautiful pictures
Here a small explanation
The windmill you see here is called Nederwaard Windmill 2 is one of the Kinderdijk windmills.
The bridge you see is the entrance to the mill.
The mill dating from 1738 serves as a visitor's mill, but is now closed by the Corona.
There is a museum house in the mill. The owner is Kinderdijk World Heritage Foundation.

Kinderdijk "windmills"
Windmills of Kinderdijk-Elshout.
World Cultural Heritage in 1997.
The 19 old windmills built in 1740 along the channels of the river.
As early as the 11th century, the residents of the settlement surrounded the rice fields and wetlands by digging canals to build drainage systems; but the subsidence and the rising water level built dams on the edge. Around the beginning of the 15th century, residents transformed the windmill and the wheels connected at the bottom to the water wheel for drainage, as part of the Dutch waterway management system. The 19 existing windmills were built from 1738 to 1761.
It is said that during the Great Flood of 1421 a baby slept here in a crib that everyone calls Kinderdijk.
