Dutch Windmill



I could only capture this 17th century Dutch windmill
through the rainy glass of a bus window
 as I travelled through Holland. But somehow
 it seems fitting: austere, beyond my grasp. It
belongs to another world that I cannot actually touch.
It makes me think of Van Gogh.

  2. I love this picture. I agree. I think the rain on the glass is fitting. It makes it melancholy and wistful.

    "But somehow it seems fitting: austere, beyond my grasp. It belongs to another world that I cannot actually touch."

    Beautiful words!
