I Photographed Dutch Windmills In The Fog And The Results Are Magical
17Kviews
A few weeks ago I shot all of these photos during this magical morning; a morning I will never forget. On this particular morning thick fog covered the area of the famous windmill village Zaanse Schans (try to pronounce that :) ) in the Netherlands. I was lucky to be there around 5 AM in the morning and take these photos. It was like I was walking in a fairytale.
Zaanse Schans is a popular tourist destination. During the day it's packed with thousands of tourists and it's unpleasant to walk. However, when the tourist shops and restaurants close, the buses leave and the area gets completely empty. Photographing late light or every early morning shows the true beauty of this place.

When I was working in Amsterdam I used to drive via N445 instead of A4 ,early in the morning, just to get the glimpse of the fog and the landscaping covered in this mystical light...it was my favorite time in the day . Was beautiful! Thank you for reminding me that, with your beautiful, magical pics.

Those are stunning! Fog is always a great environment to make wonderful pictures, I used to go hiking early morning, 4 AM, just to see the fog in the river valley around 6 when I was above it on the hilltops. Magcal time, thanks for bringing it back to me through those!
Really magical!
So beautiful...
thank you!
