Serviette En Papier Wind Mill

Wind Mill is an oil painting of a wind mill in the northern part of the Netherland! I have lived in North Holland and love those ancient mills, especially at the sunset. Dutch started building windmills to use them grinding grains In the past, ancient people build windmills to take advantage of the change and generate power. However, due to the special geographical features of the Netherland, Dutch people built windmills to pump water out of the lowlands and back into the rivers beyond the dikes to deal with flooding issues. In addition to those, windmills have been also used to power many other industrial processes, including paper mills, threshing mills, and to process oil seeds, wool, paints, and stone products. Windmills are an Old Holland tourist attraction – a quaint symbol of Dutch tradition – and visiting one makes for a lovely day out. Did you know that there were once more than 10,000 fully operational windmills in the Netherlands? A gentle creak and a soft ‘whoosh’ as the sails zip past is all you hear when standing close to a windmill. These days, it’s easy to forget that a century or so ago this sound was ubiquitous.
