Monochrome Monday: Dutch watermills

Many people associate the Dutch with windmills (and some other things I won't go into). We also have watermills, and some of them are centuries old and eye-wateringly picturesque. Here are two of them, in black and white.

The *Oostendorper watermolen*, near Haaksbergen, The Netherlands:

![](http://www.den-uijl.nl/photography/stored/OostendorperWatermolen_bw.jpg)
*<sup>Olympus Stylus 1s, 55mm, ISO400, f8, 1/80s</sup>*

The next one is the *Haarmühle*, near Alstätte, Germany. Yes, I cheated; it is in Germany, but it is only 200m from the border and easily added to The Netherlands by moving some border stones or a minor invasion. It will then be called *Haarmolen*:

*<sup>Olympus XZ-1, 35mm, ISO100, f8, 1/2s</sup>*

A final photo, of the wooden gear box of the Haarmühle:

*<sup>Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO100, f1.8, 1/8s</sup>*

Thanks for watching!

*PS Two more watermills can be found [here](https://steemit.com/photography/@ocrdu/while-i-m-at-it-two-more-dutch-watermills), in colour though.*

I like to sit in the grass and look at them, but not in the tourist season, rather less peaceful then.

I imagine.  There are so many beautiful places to see, but what's the use when they are overcrowded with tourists?
