Holland - Haarlem
Spring is in the air
Photo 6

On my yesterday's bike trip from IJmuiden to Haarlem (approx. 22 kilometers with a small detour) I saw my beloved mill De Adriaan again with the trees framing it. It looks as if the buds on the trees branches are getting thicker and thicker. It promises to be an early spring this year...

Haarlem, mill De Adriaan, eightcornered corn mill.
De Adriaan was built in the year 1779. Burnt down in 1932. Rebuilt in 1999. Since the mill is situated in a city, it had to be built on top of another building in order to catch the wind. The original mill, the one that was burnt down, was built on top of one of the city walls, surrounding Haarlem and protecting it against invaders.

I looked at your three Adriaan pictures. I think that this one shows the mill best.

Thanks dear Hans. Each time I pass the Adriaan, I feel tempted to take another shot. I guess this picture is one of my most beautiful pictures of the Adriaan. You know of course, that may use all my mill & light house pictures for your mill/light house collection!!!
