I didn&#8217;t even realize that the Netherlands was windmill galore until Michelle told me! I was ecstatic!!! I caught a few shots of them along the highway as we were driving into and out of the country, but they could never compare to capturing them up close by actually paying a visit to the countryside farms. Bella, a spunky little lady in our tour group, hopped on the train and went to the countryside &#8211; this is a photo that she took that I asked to edit and post in my album. I would not have spent my day shopping if I had known that there was someone else in the tour group that would trek to a farm with me. As good as shopping is, it is NOT as good as going to a farm and doing a photoshoot with old school windmills. Not even close. I WILL BE BACK, NETHERLANDS! (Just not to Amsterdam in particular.)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, photo credit goes to Bella. I&#8217;m going to pretend that I was there with you.<\/p>\n<p>I also REALLY, REALLY want to photograph real, cool lighthouses. I heard New Jersey&#8217;s the place. I will go there, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Windmills-newquote.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Windmills-newquote.jpg\" alt=\"amsterdam, netherlands, hollan photography, dutch windmills\" width=\"810\" height=\"588\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17071\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Windmills-newquote.jpg 810w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Windmills-newquote-450x327.jpg 450w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Windmills-newquote-624x453.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Windmills in Holland - there&#039;s just nothing better. - Charlene Precious Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/august-17-2010\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Windmills in Holland - there&#039;s just nothing better. - Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/august-17-2010\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/charlenepreciousfan\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-08-17T16:27:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2015-04-27T00:01:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Windmills-newquote.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Charlene Precious\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Charlene Precious\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/august-17-2010\/\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/august-17-2010\/\",\"name\":\"Windmills in Holland - there's just nothing better. - Charlene Precious Co.\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2010-08-17T16:27:58+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2015-04-27T00:01:35+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/2318f10bf4eb80c915fc9de12e69d835\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/august-17-2010\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/august-17-2010\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/august-17-2010\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Windmills in Holland &#8211;
