The Broekmolen is a windmill located in Streefkerk. This mill is a typical example of a traditional Dutch windmill and probably has a long history of grain milling or other industrial uses. Windmills like the Broekmolen have played an important role in Dutch history, especially in the past when they were used for grinding grain, pumping water and other tasks related to agriculture and water management.
Photographing the Broekmolen can be a wonderful experience, especially because of its picturesque setting and historical value.
On the particular morning of this photo, it didn't look like I would go home with this delightful picture, until the light came through brilliantly between the clouds, creating a colour spectacle. With the beautiful reflection in the water, it became a typical Dutch photo!
