Nederland - windmotor De Veenhoop

Nederland - windmotor De Veenhoop
Windmotor De Veenhoop is a polder windmill near the Frisian village of De Veenhoop. It is a so called American windmill (in the Netherlands also called roosmolen). This type of windmills was developed in the United States and was used for irrigation purposes. In the Netherlands, these mills are used as polder mills. De Veenhoop is of the brand Herkules and was built in the German city of Dresden.

From 1921 to 1962, the mill was used for draining a nearby polder. The mill was sold, but in 1996 it was in very poor condition. Five years later, the mill was refurbished and used again at its present location to drain the Groote Veenpolder.

To me it is interesting that despite all the wind in the Netherlands the contribution of wind energy (offshore and onshore) is not more than 13%

Such a fascinating little mill Jaap..............it actually looks quite lovely against the sky. I like the way you've composed this shot and I also like the close up in the PiP.

Eco-friendly as well which has to be a bonus!

An iconic wind pump it's good that it is still in use, there used to be a small one at Groby I think it just pumped water for a cattle trough
