Kinderdijk

After departing from Amsterdam, the first stop on our Rhine River cruise was the village of Kinderdijk. The area is home to 19 windmills built around 1740, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997.

It was raining when we arrived and raining again when we left.  But in between, the sun emerged for a little while and I took advantage of the light, blue skies, and clear reflections to capture some of the enchantment of this unique spot.
