Known for its windmills and storybook castles, the Netherlands is an extremely photogenic country in northwestern Europe. The county is remarkably flat and has vast expanses of rivers, lakes and canals. With much of the country built on reclaimed land, the Netherlands famously sustains this extra real estate with its dyke system. Powering these dykes is a complex arrangement of windmills, which is part of the reason why the country is so well known for these photogenic structures. But windmills are not the only photography spots the Netherlands has to offer. Canals, beautiful medieval cities and modern architecture all compete for the photographer’s attention in the Netherlands, a perfect photo destination.
