Nederland - Haren, De Helper

Not so long ago I visited windmill The Helper on the shore of the Paterswoldsemeer. On that gray rainy day I decided to come back at another time.

That moment came much sooner than expected. Due to the corona crisis, travelling abroad was no longer possible and I was already happy with a trip to this part of my country. Now under totally different circumstances: nice sunny weather with even sunbathing visitors along the water's edge.

What a difference with three months ago: www.ipernity.com/doc/294067/49807386

De Helper is a polder mill on the east bank of the Paterswoldsemeer.

The mill was built in 1863 south of the city of Groningen for the drainage of the Helpman polder using a screw pump. In the sixties of the 20th century the mill became permanently out of use and fell into disrepair. Because of the expansion of the city of Groningen and the construction of the A28 motorway in 1969 De Helper was demolished at its original location. In 1971 the mill was rebuilt on its present location on the banks of the Paterswoldsemeer. The mill is in operation on a voluntary basis.

Another wonderful windmill collection Jaap. I sometimes ride my exercise bike along the Kinderdijk, full of windmills via my large TV screen-placed in front of me... A great experience and your photos of these mills compliment my experiences nicely. Of course, we have such windmills here too, especially along our Norfolk Broads. Well done.

HFF, have a happy and safe weekend. Herb

Lovely series of images on this mill, Jaap. I did remember seeing your previous images of it. Its colors stood out well even against the grey skies, but this time you have outdone yourself. I especially like the pip with the reflections of the fence and mill in the water.

HFF!
