Holland and its masters

The ancient mills of Kinderdijk in the Netherlands.

If you go to the Netherlands you’ll probably won’t go there for its nature. Although there’s the beaches (but elswhere they are more beautifull) and the isles in the north and the IJsselmeer in the middle. More often people go to this country for the history.
