Windmillpark Almere 2

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 29 March 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Driving from Utrecht to Leeuwarden you go through an area which was sea bottom before around 1965. The area is now a province of the Netherlands called "Flevoland" with its main city Almere, named after the Medieval name of the "sea" (rather a bay). Because the land is very flat, has no obstacles and relatively few inhabitants, it's been found suited for windmills.

To get an idea of the scale, see the little cars down right.
