Finally today after 2 weeks of rain,wind and storm the weather was brilliant. I went cycling with in my backpack the zoom. I passed by the zaanse schans( its about 15 km from amsterdam) and took some pictures of windmills in which most of us dutch people are living in

Hope you like them

Awesome pics Dronie! Only been to Amsterdam twice myself, and then only got a good look at Schiphol airport cause I was connecting! Wish I had a chance to have a longer layover and do some touring.

Any idea how many are still active?   In first picture, windmill on far left is missing its sails and arms.

There are still a few active there and in the whole of holland many.
This is the description of the windmill without hood and wings:

De os (or ox)) is an oil windmill in the Zaanse schans

Between the saw mills Het Jonge Schaap and Het Klaverblad is the hull of the oil mill De Os. The mill was built in 1663 and is one of the oldest industrial windmills in the Zaan. Until 1916 the mill was operating on wind power. In that year, hood, and wings were removed; the Os was converted a warehouse. The barns are now occupied by the mill. The mill body was restored in recent years.

Yes, also in Kinderdijk.
I spoke with a 'molenaar' recently that also was fed up with all the drones flying by (I was flying around there, but kept my distance)
He told me that it was rather annoying to have so many camera's flying around his windows.
Some get really close het told me.

Very small town close to where I live.

I never published the images because he asked me not to.
