The Flickr Zaagmolen Image Generatr

This photo was taken at the Zaanse Schans in The Netherlands. I used a 10 stop ND filter to reduce the light. You can see the effect on the water, and the windmill blades end up looking like a disc contour. But because the mill blades turn quite slowly the exposure of them fade very fast, so the contour becomes very light. Definitely visible yes, but a bit too light, so the exposure of the disc is slighty enhanced (darkened) to make it stand out more prominent.

De Otter (Dutch pronunciation: [də ˈʔɔtər]) is a paltrok mill in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands which has been restored to working order. As all Dutch paltrok mills it is a windpowered sawmill. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 1198.

The Netherlands-IJlst
The Rat is a smock mill in IJlst, Friesland, Netherlands, which was originally built in the eightteenth century (1711) at Zaanstreek, North Holland. Following the Napoleonic Wars and economic decline, the mill fell out of use. At the same time, agriculture in Friesland was enjoying a boom, with many farms being built or having their old buildings replaced, creating a demand for sawn timber. So in 1828 the mill was moved to IJlst, where it worked using wind power until 1920 and then by electric motor until 1950. The mill was bought by the town of IJlst in 1956 and restored in the mid-1960s. Further restoration in the mid-1970s returned the mill to full working order. De Rat is working for trade and is used as a training mill. Next to the mill lies the Geeuw river, a connection with the city Sneek and also part of a monumental 200 km (120 mi.) long-distance tour skating event called Elfstedentocht (Eleven cities tour).

The Netherlands - Zaanse Schans
I lifted my kite and camera with an easterly wind above river Zaan and photographed back to saw mill Het Klaverblad, built as a private initiative by the Pos family, with the help of friends, acquaintances and funding. The still existing foundation "Het Klaverblad" (1986) has the purpose of building, running and maintaining the sawmill. The sails of the mill first turned in 2005. An original, 250 years old woodshed was added in 2009. The Kalverpolder lies in the background. © Tom Kisjes

Frederik Hendrikplantsoen 17/04/2021 12h09
De Stam consists of five statues that are spread over the Frederik Hendrikplantsoen. The work is reminiscent of the neighborhood's history as a sawmill neighborhood and at the same time pays tribute to collaboration.
The art work De Stam van Joep van Lieshout was delivered on 7 October 2015.

De Stam
"De Stam is an ode to cooperation. In the past, the chance of survival was greater through teamwork: finding food together, building shelter, cultivating land - certainly in the Netherlands, with its battle against water and draining. The Frederik Hendrik Plantsoen was a polder full of sawmills. Wood was sawn to build the houses and ships that made Amsterdam great. De Stam depicts this past and expresses the cooperation between all layers of the population. The different images on and around the tram loop form a group that collects wood and carries it to a central place where a symbolic construction is being erected, making the tram loop with a landmark visible.The dispersed arrangement of the images stimulates visitors to explore the rest of the park as well. I because the park could use a boost.In addition, it is a color that may have something, just think of red bricks, also i In a weathered state it remains a color that speaks."

Frederik Hendrikplantsoen 17/04/2021 12h07
The redesign of the Frederik Hendrikplantsoen in 2015 was part of a major renovation of the Frederik Hendrikbuurt: the quality of the public space was improved and the quality of life on the street increased. The goal was: more space for pedestrians, children playing and green areas.

Frederik Hendrikplantsoen
Frederik Hendrikplantsoen is a park in Amsterdam West, on the edge of the Jordaan. The park is located in the prestigious Frederik Hendrikbuurt Neighbourhood.
A street with tram tracks separates the northern part of the park from the southern part. On the west side is a square with old trees. The buildings located on the park consist largely of late 19th and early 20th century houses. On the northwest side are two blocks of multi-storey houses, designed in the 1980s by the architects Lopes Cardozo and J. Nust.
In 1886 the square was named after Prince Frederick Henry of Orange, son of Prince William of Orange. In 1890 the name became Frederik Hendrikplantsoen. On the Middenweg in the Zaagmolenbuurt, as they called this place before 1886, there was a group of sawmills.
In 2015, the park was redesigned, in addition to a large children's playground, five red polyester statues, made by Joep van Lieshout, were told, telling the story of the history of this Sawmill neighborhood, where the wood industry used to take place.

Tram 3, bus 18 and bus 21 out of town have a stop at the park. Bus 21 has a stop in the Kostverlorenstraat in the city center. Tram 5 has a stop at Nassaukade near the park.
From 1922 this was the terminus of tram line 13. In 1929, line 13 was replaced by line 3. Between 1923 and 1944, tram line 23 ran through the park towards Marnixstraat. In 1951 line 3 was extended via the Marnixstraat to the Zoutkeetsgracht. Originally, the loop was driven clockwise. From 1951 this was counterclockwise. Between 1977 and 1982 this was the terminus of tram 12. The reversing loop has an inner loop towards Marnixplein and an outer loop towards Frederik Hendrikstraat and has since been used only for shortening and diversions.
