World Heritage Committee Inscribes 46 New Sites on World Heritage List

Netherlands
The Mill Network at Kinderdijk-Elshout (C i ii iv)
The contribution made by the people of “the low countries” to the technology of handling water is enormous, and this is admirably demonstrated by the installations in the Kinderdijk-Elshout area. Hydraulic works to drain the land for agriculture and settlement began in the Middle Ages and have continued uninterruptedly to the present day. The site contains all the relevant elements of this technology – dikes, reservoirs, pumping stations, administrative buildings, and a series of impeccably preserved windmills

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything!
