[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 436972, member: 2844"]I meant the warehouses are made of wood.:) But the Zaan windmills are too. The building under 'your' windmill looks like whitewashed brick. It also looks like a house (home), not a warehouse. Most windmills are made of brick, btw, and many with reed thatching on the side, which the ones in the photo you posted seem to have. Is it Kinderdijk? You could see if you can find your windmill on this site, the Dutch and Belgian mill database, in English: [URL]http://en.molendatabase.nl/[/URL] I live more inland, we have more watermills than windmills. This medieval one is down the road from me: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcTu8SD4qNXlhAY9wIgau5RWPYx8R20Fez6VjVsomzUJZHPKF8tt&sp=532f924b4d92a53d8ffd9754666abbdc&anticache=842421[/IMG][/QUOTE]
