Asian Festival

Here is a new photo from the Asian festival in Columbus on Memorial Day weekend. There are many volunteer opportunities and I was fortunate to be able to volunteer as a photographer for the event. There was great dancing, singing and musical performances. The costumes were stunning.

Delft Town Square

A view of Dutch architecture from the Town Square.

Dykes & Canals

All the water in the canals, held back by the dykes, is the reason for all of the windmills. A windmill can raise the water level by 10 feet (3 meters). So many times a poulder (reclaimed land) has several levels of dykes and windmills to raise the water to sea level.

Riding on train, it is interesting so see houses with a 6 foot high dyke holding back a canal in their back yard. The water level is above their first floor windows!

Another Day, Another Windmill

Here is another of the Kinderdijk Windmills. The cows reminded me of home.

City Hall in Delft

Windmills in Holland

The largest collection of Windmills in the Netherlands can be found in Kinderdijk. Many of them are still in operation.
