For Wordless Wednesday and bloghops various!

Last week you joined me at the Merillion Weeknd music festival. Today we are visiting some of the places in around the venue in Zeeland, the westernmost province in The Netherlands.

There are lots of very long bridges. We stopped at the end of this one and went for a stroll.

I counted 24 traditional windmills during our short stay. This one, called Molen De Windvang, was in the town of Goedereede.

    I was intrigued by the contrast between the old windmills and the modern huge wind machines. An intriguing collection of photos. Thanks for sharing them.

    That is so cool. I was hoping we’d get to Europe this year but bank balance currently says otherwise….

    The Netherlands are so fun to visit! It is all about those tall houses built like row houses, windmills, canals, and tulips. Great photos!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2025 / 16:44

      …and cheese!

      I’ve been there numerous times and it never fails to delight.

    The highway and windmills are very cool – I would have a lot of fun filming those for my video channel.

    The older town looks like fun, too.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2025 / 16:53

      To see that windmill furiousy spinning was quite a sight! I’m sure you’d find lots to video.
