View of Zaanse Schans Windmills
Recreating a Dutch Village from the 17th and 18th centuries, Zaanse Schans is an open-air museum with period houses and stunning waterfront windmills. These windmills would redistribute water for irrigation and to pump water away from reclaimed land. This location is extremely popular with photographers because it typifies the look and feel of the Netherlands. (Zaandam, Netherlands)
