Description

A picture from a month ago. This mill is in my neighbourhood and is taken on the same day as 'Autumn reflection'. Please see http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2119854&user_id=675692&np&np The light was much harder now than in the early morning resulting in a totally different photo. The mill was built in 1753 by order of Henry Utenhove, mayor of Montfoort. Probably in the early 19th century the mill received its name 'De Valk'. There has always been a mill at this site in the centuries before. The mill has been restored recently and is back in service as a corn mill.
