"Molen Woldzigt" te Roderwolde
"Molen Woldzigt" te Roderwolde
Woldzigt is a windmill in the North Drenthe village of Roderwolde.
Woldzigt was built in 1852 and is still regularly in operation. A group of enthusiastic volunteers regularly organizes events in and around the mill.
Unique to this mill is that it can be used both for grinding grain and for beating oil. The mill has two pairs of grinding stones for grinding grain and an oil work with a couple of tilting stones for beating oil.
The wick cross is decorated in traditional Dutch fashion. The cast-iron upper axle is from 1904. The mill has a combwork and has a jointed woodwork that is operated with a porter.
The Dutch Grain Museum has been located in the former grain loft since 1974.

"Ot en Sien", Roden The Netherlands
"Ot en Sien", Roden The Netherlands
Ot and Sien are the main characters in a series of Dutch children's stories by Hindericus Scheepstra (i.s.m. Jan Ligthart) who were very popular in the first half of the twentieth century.
Background
The first series, entitled Close to House, was published in 1902. The main characters of it were not Ot and Sien himself, but the town boy Piet van Dam, who had to stay with his cousin Hein and Mientje in the countryside during the summer due to illness. The second series, entitled Still with Mother, consisted of four parts and was released in 1904-1905. These four booklets were entirely devoted to Ot and his girlfriend Sien. The stories are written by Hindericus Scheepstra and Jan Ligthart with the underlying idea of allowing young people to immerse themselves in daily domestic family life. The accompanying illustrations were made by Cornelis Jetses and Lies Veenhoven.
After the Second World War, the stories of Ot and Sien became out of fashion and they became ridiculed. The centenary in 2004 was celebrated with an exhibition that mainly focused on the illustrations of Jetses.
Ot and Sien are two neighbor children, a boy and a girl, for whom a German playmate and the daughter of Cornelis Jetses were the model. For a long time it was assumed that Ligthart and Scheepstra had still written with Mother together. The Groningen publicist Jan. A Niemeijer has convincingly demonstrated that Scheepstra wrote the stories about Ot and Sien. The Drentse Scheepstra sketches an extremely romantic picture of life in the province of Drenthe. H. Roland Holst-van der Schalk describes in Capital and Labor (Nijmegen 1977) how the population of Drenthe around 1900 was among the poorest in the Netherlands and for a considerable part lived in turf huts. Van Turf and Tabak tot plastic tubes (De Knipe 1991) also describe how the working and living situation in Drenthe was worse than elsewhere in the Netherlands. However, none of this can be found in the stories of "Ot and Sien".

"De Weyert" , te Makkinga
"De Weyert" , te Makkinga
Windmill De Weyert is an octagonal scaffolding mill in Makkinga from 1868. The mill has the function of a flour mill.
This mill was originally built in Gorredijk and was used as a sawmill. In 1912 the mill was moved to the hamlet of Twijtel. The mill was bought for 400 guilders in 1912 by Wijert Zeephat because the previous mill was burned down. This mill, a belt mill, was purchased in 1905 and was previously a polder mill in a polder near Oosterwolde. This mill burned down in 1912 due to a lightning strike. In 1925 the mill was relocated to Makkinga. This location was much more favorable, because the mill was therefore on a canal, which has since been drained, and on a tram line. A restoration took place in 1984, just like in 2006. The blades of the grinding mill are equipped with a self-yielding system (valves instead of sails).
The mill is managed by the De Weyert corn mill foundation. The municipality is Ooststellingwerf.

"Protestant Congregation of Steggerda"
Short history of the Protestant Congregation of Steggerda, Vinkega and De Hoeve
The Protestant Congregation of Steggerda, Vinkega and De Hoeve dates back to 1727. Before that, the religious congregation consisted of the villages of Steggerda, Noordwolde, Boyl and Finkega.
On January 30, 1727 Mr. Grietman Duco van Haaren met with the commissioners from Noordwolde, Boyl, Steggerda and Vinkega in Wolvega. Steggerda and Vinkega are organized on the basis of agreements and the "arrangements" for the foundation of an independent municipality. The tradition of the minister to be appealed will be 450 carolus guilders. A parsonage will be built in Steggerda and Noordwolde and Boyl will also pay 450 carolus guilders for the costs. What it costs more is paid by Steggerda. It is decided that two Sundays in a row and all additional days will be continued in Steggerda and every third Sunday in Vinkega. The representatives of Steggerda were: Auke Meijnes and Wijbe Jans. The descendants of Vinkega: Hendrik Folkus and Jacob Jans. In 1727 the first minister comes, then mayor, Fredericus Reddingius. He remained here at his retirement in 1777, died in 1782 and buried in Steggerda. He he was a minister for 50 years in Steggerda, we know nothing about him. There was already a church present at the current location, which was rebuilt in 1708 and in 1739 a restoration took place on the church and bell-chair. The year 1739 in iron letters on the southern wall reminds us of this.
THE FARM
In 1905, for the first time on the Hoeve, a so-called home service was held with Mr Albert Hornstra. In the minutes we read separately for the first time about De Hoeve, which shows that De Hoeve is a relatively young village compared to Steggerda and Vinkega. In 1920, a letter was received at the church guardianship with 74 signatures from residents of De Hoeve. They ask for a room for Christian purposes on De Hoeve. The church will be put out to tender the following year.
In 1927 the room in Steggerda is completely restored. A meeting room is made from a former shed at the parsonage, which can be made into one whole with removable partitions with the large room. In the winter of 1926 - 1927 a new garden is laid out behind the parsonage. Before that, the vicarage garden was on the opposite side of the road on the piece of land where the sexton's house now stands.
A new start was made in 1956 with the publication of the church magazine. The first edition that began in 1939 had to be stopped during the war years due to paper scarcity. In 1959 the church in Steggerda is restored. The room that had been expanded and refurbished years ago by volunteers is given the name "Het Anker".
In recent years (until 1977) much attention has been paid to the interior of the church. To name a few: a large candlestick with candles, supper table, the wooden paneling of the consistory and cloakroom, the whitening of the walls alongside interior and exterior paintwork, new curtains on both sides, new floor coverings, sound installation and separate equipment for people with reduced mobility hearing, transferring benches from the Vinkega church to the Steggerda church and a new organ.
Currently, the churches in Vinkega and De Hoeve are no longer used for church services but as a gallery and studio.

"Estate Ampsen" Lochem, The Netherlands
"Estate Ampsen" Lochem, The Netherlands
Ampsen is a castle, estate and hamlet in the municipality of Lochem, located north of the town of Lochem, in the Dutch province of Gelderland. The neighborhood has 280 inhabitants (2009).
History
In 1105 an 'Ulricus de Amsene' is mentioned as a witness in a fake certificate. [1] From this mention it is deduced that there must have been a good Ampsen back then. There were two goods called Ampsen: Ouden-Ampsen and Nieuwen-Ampsen. Ouden-Ampsen was a loan from the Dukes of Gelre and has been listed as such in the loan registers of the quarter of Zutphen since 1379. It was already a fortified house around that time, because in 1389 the owner promised not to harm the duke of Gelre and his relatives from this house. Nieuwen-Ampsen was next to Ouden-Ampsen and was an allodial good until it was also made a Gelders fief in 1650. Both houses Ampsen were destroyed in the Spanish time by the Spaniards in 1605. Gerrit Jan van Nagell probably had the current house built somewhere in the first half of the 17th century. A new wing was added to the right-hand side of the L-shaped building, creating a U-shape. The castle moat around the house was filled in. However, it is not known whether he has selected a completely new location for this. At the place where Ouden-Ampsen once stood, there is today a farm with that name and a partially moated castle island, but between this farm and the current castle is another Nieuwen-Ampsen farm. The castle and estate are still privately owned today.

B&B "Landgoed Matanze" , Terwolde
Almost 4 centuries of history
In 1628 Piet Hein conquers the Silver Fleet on the Spaniards in the bay of Matanzas in Cuba. On behalf of the West India Company, he returned to the Netherlands in 1629. The Zilvervloot was divided among the shareholders, at the time based in Deventer. One of the shareholder and the admiral who founded Piet Hein with a part of the proceeds "Estate Matanze".
Centuries later, in the spring of 1998, Alexander van Rijckevorsel van Kessel became the owner of the Matanze estate. He lives there with his wife Mirjam and their three children: Sanne, Alexander and Floris. The estate consists of the large house, a coach house, horse stables, greenhouses and a service residence. This spacious 17th century house was formerly partly inhabited by governesses and other housekeeping staff. The first resident, Jessica Knol-de Jong, has now returned to the B & B as an employee.
The start of a "Bed & Breakfast" came about because the family received numerous requests to stay overnight on the Matanze. Moreover, the estate owner and his wife find it a nice idea to occasionally share the beauty of their possessions. The cultural heritage includes a six-seater golf course, a beautiful English landscaped garden of 10 hectares and a deer meadow. A nice extra is that additional income is generated to maintain the park-like environment. The preservation, restoration and maintenance of the estate are of a high standard. During open garden and monument days, the estate opens its gates for garden and culture lovers.

The Hollandsche Molen is located just outside Neede in the hamlet of Lochuizen. The mill as it stands now was taken into use in January 1927, after the standard mill that was on August 10, 1925 was destroyed by the cyclone that also hit Borculo heavily. The association De Hollandsche Molen, in cooperation with the National Support Committee "Stormramp", has built the construction of the new mill. The new mill is named after the association that made the construction possible.
The mill was restored in 1998/1999.
The Hollandsche Molen is a round stone mill with the function of a corn mill. The mill is still regularly in operation thanks to voluntary millers.

"De Piepermolen", te Rekken The Netherlands
"De Piepermolen", te Rekken The Netherlands
The Piepermolen (or Windmill of Pieper) is a windmill on the Rekkenseweg in Rekken, in the Gelderland municipality of Berkelland. This stone belt mill was built in 1796. After the wicks cross broke during a storm of the mill in 1940, the hull has fallen into an increasingly dilapidated state for thirty years. In 1970, however, the Piepermolen was restored, using parts of dismantled and demolished mills. The name derives the mill from the surname of the owners between 1907 and 1965.
The shape of the Piepermolen is special: the bottom two meters are cylindrical, after which the course is strongly taped to the top. The refuge is Oudhollands and the mill is equipped with two pairs of grinding stones, with which cattle feed is ground on a voluntary basis.
The mill is owned by the Eibergse Molens Foundation and can be visited on Saturday afternoon.

"Hermien", te Harreveld
"Hermien", te Harreveld
The Hermien windmill is located at Varsseveldseweg nr. 88 in Harreveld, in the Achterhoek (Province of Gelderland). The mill stands on a site that was part of the goods under Harreveld Castle. In the 18th century, this was in the possession of Johanna Magdalena Catharina Judith, Dled's mayor, who was executed in 1799 by the Patriots in Winterswijk for her orangist activities. Her possessions were in the hands of J.J.S. van Raesfelt, physician in Bocholt. He had the mill built in 1819. His granddaughter, Bernardine de Both, donated all her possessions, including the mill, to the Roman Catholic parish of Harreveld in 1900. This sold it in 1926 to the miller G.J. Wolterink. His widow took over in the years 1937 to 1951 and finally her son J.J. Wolterink until 1974 the miller.
Due to an ash fracture on March 23, 1981, the sail cross was destroyed and a thorough restoration was required. The new upper axle comes from the Het Hert in Rhoon, which was dismantled in 1971. During this restoration some things have changed on the wicks, such as wider boards and narrower fences. In this way, sailing could be done without sailing.
The belt mill Hermien, named after the wife of the last miller [1], stands on a hill of 2.75 meters high. The hull of the mill is wooden, octagonal and covered with oak shales. Six of the oak octagon styles are still original from 1819. The wings have a flight of 24.18 meters and are old-fashioned. The landscape value is very large, partly because the mill is along the busy roads N18. The mill is owned by the Stichting Instandhouding Beltkorenmolen Hermien. The mill is managed by volunteer millers and is open to visitors. There is still a stone couple present and for demonstration is regularly grinded with cattle feed.

"De Zwiepse Molen"
"De Zwiepse Molen" , Zwiep The Netherlands
The Zwiepse Molen is a flour mill on the Zwiepseweg in Zwiep in the Dutch province of Gelderland.
The mill was built in 1851 near the Diepe Put on the Zwiepse Berg near Barchem
The mill has been relocated several times due to a bad windfall, the last time in 1880. Since 1992 the mill has been managed by the Stichting Behoud Zwiepse Molen. The mill has one grinding torque with 16der (140 cm diameter) artificial stones and an electrically driven grinding seat. In the past there was also a pellet which is still visible on the slabs on the stone loft.
Intermediate blower bars of former pellet
The flee has developed on the inner rod breeding wicks according to the system by ir. P.L. Fauël; the outer gate is old-fashioned. The moment of opening of the brake valve is set manually before starting with turning by setting a spring to a certain tension. There is an iron strip with holes on the fence for this. The 22.50 m long, welded rods date from 1994 and are made by Groot Wesseldijk. The buitenroe has number 50.
The mill is caught (braked) with a Flemish catch consisting of four catchers and operated with a wip stick.
The upper axis from probably 1896 is from the ironworks The Prince of Orange in 's Hage and has the number 1466.
The hood is seasoned with a wheelbarrow and the wheelbarrow consists of an English wheelbarrow with wooden rollers.
The lazy works consist of a mill-driven dragline and an electrically powered lazy work.

"Daams’ Molen" te Vaassen
"Daams’ Molen" te Vaassen
Daams' mill is a flour mill in Vaassen (municipality of Epe) in the Dutch province of Gelderland.
The mill was built in 1870 and was dismantled in 1934. The fodder company for which the mill was used as storage depot ceased its activities in 1964, after which the condition of the mill deteriorated. The Vaassens' Mill Foundation gave the starting signal for a restoration in 1989, after which the blades turned again in 1990. The wooden octagon was no longer usable and had to be replaced in its entirety.
The rods of the mill are 22.40 meters long and are equipped with the old-Dutch fence. The capture is a steel bandage. The device consists of a pair of 16der (140 cm diameter) millstones.
The mill was increased by 4.90 meters in the spring of 2012 in order to be guaranteed free windfall again after the completion of the nearby new building. Special techniques were used for this project, including for the necessary temporary movement of the mill. On 22 May the highest point was reached and on 7 September the raised mill was officially reopened.

"Kasteel Keppel" te Laag Keppel The Netherlands
"Kasteel Keppel" te Laag Keppel The Netherlands
Keppel Castle is a castle in the town of Laag-Keppel in the municipality of Bronckhorst, in the Dutch province of Gelderland. The castle stands on an island between two branches of the Oude IJssel. On the foundations, the current building (after it was destroyed in 1582) was rebuilt in the 17th century.
Building history
Around the medieval donjon (around 1300), a castle was created, which will not have changed much until the 16th century. After the violence of the castle, the castle was demolished between 1582 and 1609 and the rebuilding started in 1609. In 1612 the city architect William van Bommel from Emmerik was commissioned to completely rebuild the castle. He used demolition stones on the standing walls. After 1614 the impressive Renaissance façade was placed against the side walls of the gate. This work was completed around 1620. Between 1740 and 1750 the complex was extended at the rear by master builder Gerrit Ravenschot. He delivered his work in 1750. In 1780 the gatehouse was radically changed. Finally in 1850 the back of the IJssel and the Hall Wing were connected to each other, with which the construction was finally completed.
Struggle
Keppel Castle experienced many warfare during the Middle Ages. Especially during the Eighty Years' War. In 1581 the castle was besieged and occupied by the States. Frederik van Pallandt, lord of Keppel, took a counterattack a month later and took up the castle again. In September 1582 the States attacked for the second time. That had to be done cautiously because of the large quantities of gunpowder, and they stormed the castle in old-fashioned style, where the castle was thoroughly destroyed. In 1665, after the reconstruction, the Münster bishop Bernhard von Galen (better known as Bommen Berend) took the castle, cleared the castle in 1666 and then dismantled the defenses around the castle. In 1672 Louis XIV established the castle as headquarters, but in the same year much damage was done to the castle by marauding French and Munster troops. After the Dutch War, quiet times for the castle broke up.
Nowadays
From 1962 the castle was owned by the Pallandt van Keppel Foundation, which made it possible to keep the castle, household goods and park together so that it can still be inhabited by the family. The castle has never been sold, the current residents are descendants of the 14th century builder. The castle is located on an estate that was 1600 hectares in the nineteenth century and 560 hectares in the twenty-first century. [2] It consists partly of forest and it includes a number of farms and houses.

"Huis 't Joppe"
"Huis 't Joppe" te Joppe The Netherlands
Huis' t Joppe is a country house just east of the hamlet Joppe, in the Dutch province of Gelderland. The estate dates from around 1740 and has an entrance hall in Louis XIV style.
This country house is not very old compared to castles, because the first mention of an estate on this site is from 1565. This estate was owned by Lubbert van Kuinre, who around this time the Nijelanden near Gorssel mined. A document from 1609 refers to Jobstede or Nieulant, the origin of the name Job in this respect is not known.
Residents
Little is to be said with certainty about the first owners. It is probable that Joppe van Baar lived here with his family in the winter, in the summer he lived in Egmond on the North Holland coast. The owner has probably named the castle after himself. He died in 1616. In 1617, Goossen Kremer was the owner, who was suspected of taking land from the community (marke) by secretly pushing boundary locks. In 1673 Jan van Suchtelen, mayor of Deventer, was the owner. He was succeeded by his son Willem van Suchtelen, who was a lieutenant at the cavalry and died in 1703.
Probably the estate then came to Willems sister, Vreda van Suchtelen, who in 1676 was married to Hendrik van Markel, also mayor of Deventer. Their youngest daughter married Arnold Bouwer, also mayor of Deventer. They had the current house built around 1740, probably using materials from the older house.
Their son, Hendrik Frederik Brouwer, inherited the estate and also became mayor of Deventer. He was married to Antonetta Gesina Jordens, divorced her and remarried with Harmanna van Suchtelen. This couple had the son: Arnold Hendrik van Markel Bouwer, who was married to the noble Sophia Adriana Everdina van Heeckeren. When she became a widow, she sold it well to the speculator Lukas Binkhorst in 1826. This sold it well in 1827 to Antonie Brants, who was son-in-law of Anthony Christiaan Winand Staring, who died in 1862. This was married three times and had twelve children, of whom ten were still alive. This gave rise to so many complications with the inheritance, that the good was sold again, and to three brothers Van Hövell to Westerflier, from whom in the end Frans Ernst Alexander Van Hövell to Westerflier would live in the mansion. In 1867 he had the Catholic Church Our Lady Assumption built at the manor, so that he did not have to go to church in Zutphen. By marriage, Frans would eventually become lord of Asten.
L.F.M. de Maes Janssens-von Heijden (1920-2011), member of the von Heyden family, lived in until her death Huis' t Joppe through her mother, L.J.F. von Heijden-baroness from Hövell to Westerflier and Wezeveld (1893-1984) who was born and died on the house, came into her possession.
Nature and landscape
't Joppe is an estate of 100 ha with park forest and small pieces of pine and deciduous forest, but also meadows and fields, on which stand a number of beautiful single trees. Ring snakes and bats live there.
The area is freely accessible, except for the country house and its immediate surroundings. That is why the so-called berceau, a roof tunnel of hornbeam, can not be visited.
There is a walking route, the Three Kieften route, past the manor house and the estate.

"Landgoed Staverden"
"Landgoed Staverden" , Staverden The Netherlands
History
In 1298, the Roman king Rudolph von Habsburg granted city rights to the existing Staverden court. The idea of the then count of Gelre (Reinald I) was to establish a thriving city in this place. After building a castle, a canal system and outbuildings, Reinald abandoned this idea and the city became an estate, while preserving city rights. The "hof" Staverden was then issued by the Geldersche dukes in loan.
Staverden and her residents
In the seven centuries that followed, the rich history of Staverden and its inhabitants was formed.
Landgoed Staverden
The estate has a total area of 718 ha and extends over a length of almost 7 km, from the Stakenberg in the North to almost the Uddelermeer in the South. It consists of approximately 340 hectares of forest, 310 hectares of agricultural land and 70 hectares of nature reserves, roads and buildings. Without exaggeration we may say that the great variety of deciduous and coniferous woodland, hedgerows, streams and flowery fields is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in our country.
Between all the greenery in Staverden are 18 characteristic farmhouses, the white castle, the villa and another 30 other houses and buildings. Several of these buildings have been designated as State or Municipal monument. In 2000 they are provided with a shield with a flaming peacock.
The smallest city
Staverden was officially declared the smallest city in the Benelux in 2012. It is possible that Staverden with its 52 inhabitants is even the smallest city in the world!

"De Hoop", te Appel (Nijkerk)
"De Hoop", te Appel (Nijkerk) The Netherlands
De Hoop is a windmill built in 1888 in the Dutch hamlet of Appel (municipality of Nijkerk, province of Gelderland). The mill replaced the scaffold mill burned across the road from 1863. De Hoop is an octagonal flour mill of the type stelling mill with a stone substructure and a wooden, thatched roof. The Houten achtkant comes from a Zwolse oil mill, which in turn probably comes from the Zaanstreek. There are 2 pairs of grinding stones. One pair of grinding stones is grinding and is used according to need. The one pair still has stone millstones, which were mostly extracted from volcanic raw material from the German Eifel. The other stones of the grinding flock are artificial stones that have a special, hard layer on the grinding side. It can be seen from the trusses that there was once a couple of pebbles in the mill. There is a regulator on the mill, which is out of order.
The lazy work is a so-called trailing woodwork, with which the bags of grain are lifted.
The hood of the mill is equipped in 2005 with a so-called English cross, which is a cross with iron rolls. Formerly the hood turned on a cross with wooden rollers, which can still be visited. The cruising is done with the help of a crossbill.
The upper shaft is made of cast iron and dates from 1878. The shaft is lubricated with lard and the combs (teeth) on the gears with beeswax. The catch, with which the sails cross is slowed down, is a Flemish catch with a swank stick consisting of five blocks. The king pivot is mounted in the iron bar. The long shoot is behind the top wheel at the place of the support beam.
The mill was restored in 1955, 1971 and 2005. In 2005, the mill was given a new sails with a classic wing lining, with sail (old Dutch rigging, without other aerodynamic means, such as breeding wicks) .The tail and the rack were also newly built. from bilinga wood.
Flight of the mill is 23.50 meters.
The mill is still used for milling grain, such as barley, corn and wheat for cattle feed.

The mill dates from the 18th century and has had a number of predecessors. From way back, he belonged to the goods of the Borculo glory. The municipality of Borculo became the owner of the entire mill complex and had it completely restored from 1966 to 1970. At the end of 2007, the restaurant owners bought the complex from the municipality of Berkelland.

De Bente is a flour mill in Dalen in Drenthe (municipality of Coevorden).
The mill was built in 1814 as the successor of a burned mill. Until 1944 the mill remained in operation, after which he fell into decline. The then municipality of Dalen (now Coevorden) bought the mill and in 1976 the now dismantled windmill was again provided with a hood with a cross and a stand. The mill was also provided with a grinder, which came from a mill in the German Aurich. It was not until 1994 that the mill became greasy again. Since then, the mill has been milling flour for three days a week on wind power by a traditional miller. On the ground floor there is a store where the ground products are sold.
The rods, with a length of 22 meters, are equipped with the Old Dutch wick system with sails. The mill is equipped with three pairs of grinding stones and also some bumps and rolls for further processing of the grain and flour products. All tools can work on wind force. The mill is equipped with a neutenkruiwerk and is put on the wind by means of a large wheel.

"Grote Geesterse Molen" te Geesteren
"Grote Geesterse Molen" te Geesteren The Netherlands
The Grote Geesterse Molen is a flour mill in Geesteren in the Dutch province of Overijssel.
The mill was built in 1867 on a site where in 1819 a standerd mill was already built. Between 1901 and 1995 the mill was owned by the Kienhuis family who kept the mill in a reasonable state of repair. In 1995 the mill became the property of the Grote Geesterse Molen and in 1996 and 1997 the mill was restored.
The rods of the mill, with a length of almost 21 meters, are equipped with the old-Dutch fence with sails and are regularly put into operation by volunteer millers. The mill has a couple of grinding stones. Also instruction is given to new voluntary millers.
Archive records show that in 1819 the farmer Meijer and his son-in-law A. Masselink were given permission to build a stand mill at the current location De Zandberg.
In 1867 the current belt corn mill was built, where beams from the demolished stand mill were reused.
In 1901 the mill came into the hands of the Kienhuis family.
Until the 1950s, the mill did its work commercially, after which difficult years started. Thanks to restorations, the Kienhuis family managed to keep the mill.
On December 20, 1995, the mill was handed over to the Grote Geesterse Molen by the Kienhuis family, who had the mill restored shortly thereafter.
On August 23, 1997, the windmill was put into use in a festive manner.

"Wittebrinkse molen", Zelhem
"Wittebrinkse molen", Zelhem The Netherlands
In the Wittebrink, almost 4 kilometers from Zelhem, there is still the only, wiped, completely operational mill of Zelhem.
The Wittenbrink mill. The brickwork was done by the Gebr. Gerritsen millmakers from the Keijenborg commissioned by Hendrik Scholten.
They mapped the mill with a wrong slope, so that the mill did not get the planned height.
The ring at the top of the mill would be too small to be able to carry the hood.
That is why this mill has fallen smaller than intended.
The hood of the mill was first covered with asphalt paper and not with reeds.
This asphalt paper started to leak under heat and caused the mill body to become contaminated, as can still be seen.
The farmers from this area were forced to grind their grain at the mill of Coops in Zelhem or the water wheel mill in Keppel until the construction of this mill.
Before that time the distances were important and therefore the mill was founded in the Wittebrink.
After the death of miller H. Scholten in 1906, his widow married in 1908 with Mr. E.J. Wolsink, after which H.J. Oldenhave from 1942 the Wittebrink mill mills, together with his father-in-law.
This continues until the death of E.J. Wolsink in 1956. From A.A. Oldenhave-Wolsink owner and J.L. Oldenhave from 1983 to the present.
In 1955, A.E. Oldenhave, together with his servant Wim Heersink, completely replaced the windmill and provided with a thatched roof.
If this had not happened, the mill would now also have been a fall.
For this they received a certificate from the association De Hollandsche Molen.
In 1970 the whole mill underwent a restoration by mill restorer A.I. Beckers from Bredevoort.
That happened under the supervision of the mill expert J.H. Rijnenberg from Heelsum. Conservation has accounted for forty percent of the costs, the province of thirty and the municipality of Zelhem twenty percent.
The owner contributed ten percent.
The mill's outbuilding was named Luctor et Emergo (I wrestle and come above), which is also the motto of the province of Zeeland.
This spell was applied by Zeeland masons.
The grain, fertilizer and compound feed business was located in the annexe.
Fier on the hood is a wind vane representing a jumping horse.
Unfortunately, the mill is now stationary and no mill activity can be observed.

The Mölle van Bats is a flour mill on the IJsseldijk in Veessen in the Dutch province of Gelderland.
In 1777 permission was granted for the construction of a mill in Veessen. In 1779 the mill was built. In 1888, a steam mill was built next to the mill. Later there was a gas engine. After 1945, this mill was stopped. On May 6, 1996, the then miller Jan Langevoord was murdered at the age of 91. In 2005 the mill with a diesel engine was again ready for grinding. The mill itself underwent restoration work in 1962, 1971 and 1991/1992.
The rods of the mill are 20,50 meters long and are equipped with the old Dutch fence with sails. The device consists of two pairs of millstones. A volunteer miller puts the mill into operation on a weekly basis.

"Molen van Frielink"
"Molen van Frielink" , Fleringen The Netherlands
The Gröbbemolen or Fleringer Molen is a corn and peeling mill in Fleringen in the Dutch province of Overijssel.
The current mill was built in 1846 on the site where a windmill from 1822 was burned. The mill came into the possession of the municipality of Tubbergen in 1955. In that year the mill was restored, in 1975 again. The mill has been in regular service since then thanks to a voluntary miller. Special about this mill is the shape of the hull. With most round stone mills, this is conically masonry. At the Fleringer Mill the first part of approximately three meters is vertically bricked up, after which the top piece has a conical shape. Although the mill is on a hill, the mill has no entrances and it is a ground sailor.
The rods of the mill, with a length of 22 meters, are equipped with the old Dutch fence with sails. The mill has two flocks of millstones and a pebble.
The Fleringer - Vrielinksmolen is very similar to a belt mill due to its location on a small belt. That increase is good as well, because otherwise the round stone ground sailor might come into 'breathlessness'. The mill was formerly known as the Gröbbemolen. With this name the former owner of the nearby estate Herinckhave Jan Grubbe was named Vleringe. The windmill was established because the nearby water mill offered too little operational security.

está recorrida por un cañón de unos 30 metros de altura, por el que transcurre un precioso río que forma una espectacular cascada. Esta compuesta por unas terrazas a distintas alturas por las que se puede recorrer no exentas del consiguiente peligro. En estos niveles existen bellas formaciones. Por eso se le llama con el sobrenombre de la “Niña Bonita”.

Napili Beach, Maui
Lens: Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM with B+W KSM HTC-POL MRC nano filter.
DESAFIANDO AL RÍO
Imaginaros lo que se siente cuando el agua te supera el límite de las botas altas y la vibración del trípode al paso del ímpetu de la corriente te impide realizar una buena foto. Lo único que puedes hacer es que todo el peso de tu cuerpo se apoye en él para que la foto no salga trepidada y para que no te lleve la corriente. Una experiencia increíble.
ALAMEDA
La R.A.E. determina lo que es una alameda de la siguiente forma:
Alameda es un lugar poblado de álamos.
Cualquier paseo o alineaciones de árboles de sombra, sean álamos, olmos, almeces, fresnos, plátanos, tilos o castaños.
No podía faltar este año al la fantástica explosión de colores desde este precioso mirador riojano.
ENTRE LAS HAYAS
Mágica la luz que se forma en los claros de los hayedos al amanecer.
DESPUES DE LA VENDIMIA
Donde se produce el mejor vino del mundo (Rioja Alavesa). Saltan noticias en la prensa como esta
"El exceso de fruto ha obligado a los viticultores de la zona Rioja a dejar en el suelo millones de kilos ante el riesgo de descalificación por superar el 118% del rendimiento". Manda Cojo...con lo rico que está este vino.
CICLO FINAL
Nada es perpetuo en la naturaleza y todo tiene su caducidad.
EMBARCADERO
Llegamos hasta la orilla misma del pantano, donde había un pequeño y tosco muelle de madera…
CUEVA PEÑA GINGIA
La cueva de Peña Gingia está situada en las antiguas y extintas canteras, recuperadas para espacio lúdico en el Parque Natural del Gorbea, tiene una extensión de 5.800 m. Es una cavidad complicada y peligrosa, bella entre las bellas, tiene el apodo de "La niña bonita".
ATMÓSFERA
Que más se puede pedir cuando te encuentras con este fenómeno metereológico en el bosque.
EL LAGO DE LA NIEBLA II
Llegar al sitio que deseas fotografiar y encontrarte con semejante espectaculo, no queda otro remedio que disfrutar y disfrutar intensamente.
OTOÑO
Ya llegan los colores esperados del otoño.
SELVA ESPESA
Selva espesa es la tradución al castellano de Mato Grosso, que ocupa una superficie de 903 357,9 km² en el Amazonas brasileño. Todavía se pueden encontrar parajes casi vírgenes, fuera de este área privilegiada.
LA JOVEN Y EL CENTENARIO
Un paseo fotográfico matinal con la persona que más quiero.
LA TORRENTERA
Muchas veces no tiene porque caer mucha cantidad de agua por el torrente para que la foto sea visualmente atractiva.
LA QUEBRADA II
Un bonito desgaste que hace el agua en este maravilloso lugar.
EL CLARO
Lluvia y niebla en un marco mágico, que más se puede pedir.
OCRE OTOÑAL
Volverá el ciclo de las estaciones a este fantástico lugar, año tras año. Cosas de la naturaleza.
LA QUEBRADA
He pasado o he estado unas cuantas veces por esta quebrada, todavía no le he sacado el jugo que se le puede sacar a este lugar privilegiado, de momento me conformo con colocar esta instantánea pero con el propósito firme de sacarla en un futuro como el lugar se lo merece, quizás sea el próximo otoño o…

BURBUJAS VERDES III
Si se dan las condiciones idóneas, pueden salir resultados más o menos buenos. La lluvia, la niebla y un buen polarizador siempre realzan los verdes del bosque.
EL LESHII
El demonio del bosque, posee la capacidad de cambiar de aspecto a voluntad. Su tamaño varía entre el tamaño de una hierba y la de un árbol. Cuando alguien se siente bajo el influjo del Leshii, lo mejor que puede hacer es caminar de espaldas o ponerse la ropa al revés. Solo así logrará regresar al camino.
Lo bueno de todo esto, es que solo son leyendas.

QUIETUD EN EL BOSQUE
Día de mucha lluvia y niebla, a pesar del primer fenómeno atmosférico se está de maravilla en el bosque entre estos dinosaurios arbóreos.
TENTÁCULOS
La intervención del hombre en los hayedos, para obtener un beneficio económico como un medio de subsistencia y su abandono posterior, hace que estos arboles crezcan sus ramas de una forma anómala, provocando un sobrepeso que no pueden soportar el tronco. Las consecuencias de todo esto esta provocando la mutilación (quizás su muerte prematura) imparable de estos magníficos ejemplares.
VERDE QUE TE QUIERO VERDE

EL RUMOR DEL CAUCE
No sabría definir lo que se siente al percibir el suave susurro del agua por la escorrentía, acompañada por la enigmática nube baja y el colorido vestido veraniego del bosque. Se siente…
