A windmill and a bridge

A couple of weeks ago I went on a little trip with a friend.






This windmill is build in 1772 and was renovated in 1983.
The name of the mill is De Haas, (The Hare)





The vertical lift bridge at Boskoop is one of three similar bridges over the river Gouwe. Because of its central location, the bridge characterizes the village skyline. A new bicycle path was added to the bridge during its renovation at the beginning of the nineties.

Everywhere you can spot bicycles, some of them dangerously close to the water....
