Drainage mill "De Oostzijdse Molen" anno 1874.
Netherlands, along Het Gein near Abcoude, July 2005.
A favourite view of the Dutch painter Mondriaan who painted this mill many times and therefore it is also known as "De Mondriaan Molen".

What a very nice one dear senna3! I lived in Amsterdam South East during a couple of years, and my youngest son and I went for a bike tour. It is so great to see the mill and the two Abcoude church towers back in one excellent picture!!!

Thank you Anna. On our longer bike tours to the "Green Heart" of Holland we always take the bicycle lanes along the Gein. So I have pictures of the two mills Gein mills in all seasons.

Linny, it is not often that we find a mill working. They are moving once a month for only a few hours, just to keep them in condition. But a week ago we were lucky and found the mill "De Ruiter" in Vreeland in action. It was a so-called "Open Day" at the occasion of "The Year of the Mill" in Holland. But there was not much wind and the wings were moving very slowly. I could only hear them whizzing (if that is the right word) when I was at a few meters distance. I will upload the picture made of that mill.
