On the border of the villages Koog aan de Zaan and Zaandijk stands flour mill De Bleeke Dood (The Pale Death), on the bank of river Zaan. This mill (1782) stands on its original location and is still in full working order. Image made with kite and camera (attached to the kite's line). © Tom Kisjes
The Netherlands-Zaandam
Part of the old neighborhood Haaldersbroek, captured in morning atmosphere, lies in the southern part of the Kalverpolder. In the background the rest of the Kalverpolder, nowadays a Natura 2000 nature reserve. Even further away lie the drained former lakes Enge Wormer and Wijdewormer.

The Netherlands-Akersloot
The history of the Akersloot ferry goes back to around 1800. But since the draining of lake Schermeer and the development of the Schermer polder (1635) there were possibly earlier, private ferryboats. The ferry connects Akersloot and hinterland with Zuidschermer and the N244 motorway, on this spot in fact part of the ring dyke of the Schermer polder. For this purpose the ferry crosses the Noordhollandsch Canal.

The Netherlands-Zaandam
Aerial view on Natura 2000 nature reserve Kalverpolder, with one of its main ditches Nieuwe vaart. The area has been drained by the characteristic American windmill Herkules (see background) from 1922 until 1993, after which it was replaced by a pumping station right next to it. Behind the mill the reclaimed land of the former lake Wijdewormer, and its dranage canal, are visible. Image made with kite and camera (attached to the kite's line). © Tom Kisjes

The Netherlands-Benningbroek
The West-Frisian village Benningbroek is split in two by the A7 highway. East of the highway this charming white church is clearly visible. This eastern part of Benningbroek is in fact a hamlet called De Buurt (the Neighborhood). The originally catholic church dates from 1548; after the Reformation it was confiscated and used by the protesters. Since the 16th century lots of restoration work has been carried out.
