/windmills of Zaanse Schans

In the realm where history breathes, the windmills of Zaanse Schans stand as sentinels, their timeworn blades whispering tales of an age gone by. They aren’t simply majestic structures standing tall against the Dutch sky but unravel the essence of time itself.

They evoke a sense of enchantment. In their stoic presence, one can almost hear the creaking of the wooden gears, transporting the observer to a realm where every blade tells a story, and every sail carries the whispers of ages.

As the sun sets over the Zaan River, casting a warm glow upon the weathered structures, one cannot escape the feeling of stepping into a living canvas. Sontag’s exploration of the photograph as a form of witnessing finds resonance here, where each image invites the viewer to bear witness to the enduring legacy of craftsmanship and innovation.

The hum of the windmill—a melody. The dance of blades—a timeless choreography. These frames are my attempt to capture the intersection of history, art, and the enduring beauty of the windmills of Zaanse Schans.
