Alblasserwaard
Alblasserwaard
Jan Ros ARPS
Several times a week I cycle through the Alblasserwaard, a region where I have lived all my life. Since December 2014 I take pictures with my i-Phone during my bicycle trips. Since then, I have photographed the Alblasserwaard in all seasons.
I am always anxious to photograph thewindmills area ofthe Kinderdijk. Often the weather conditions are different, and this invites me to take pictures.
At the 8th mill of the Overwaard I usually stop for a moment. This is where my mother was born. My grandfather and grandmother lived there for manyyears and as a child I spent manyhours at the mill, fishing and cutting reeds together with grandpa. In the school vacations I always went to stay for a week and slept in the box bed.
This was more than 70 years ago now, but the memories remain.
