  • Hi...my family and I were in Zaanse Schans in march 2005, and we loved it soooo much...besides Keukenhof, this is our favorite place in the Netherlands, though I am sure there are thousand more nice places which we havent got the opportunity (..yet...) to visit.....love your pics!!

  • Hello Anna, Believe I missed this one on my other visits. Love this little village too. There is something that gives a little tug to my heart when I view these quaint little villages in your beautiful country that you so greatly display in your photos. Maybe it's the small about of Dutch in my bloodline from my fathers side. Who know what causes the feeling we sometimes have. Always make one wonder??? Thank you for viewing my album would love for you to give me more advice anytime as well. Take care dear Anna. Laura

  • Hallo Anna, wat een heel mooi album over de Zaanse Schans, een van de culturele erfgoederen van ons kleine landje. Je hebt het heel mooi in beeld gebracht en Webshots maakt het mogelijk de hele wereld ervan te laten genieten door jouw lens. Ik heb er met heel veel plezier naar gekeken. Ik ken het wel, maar dit bezoekje aan jouw album was weer een leuke opfrisser. Groetjes, Hanneke

  • Hi Anna - I found you through your message in miekesphotos1's guestbook. I love windmills and thought you might have some but got sidetracked by Freezing for Life (can't wait to see the next installment - glad the orchard is doing so well). Found these tonight - they are just fantastic, and it is nice to find pictures with windmills in sail. The color and composition of your photos is so rich. Thanks for your kind words about my 'Trees' - I hope to add more soon. Best regards, L. from Virginia

  • Je hebt op sommige momenten in mijn schoenen gestaan:-). Mooie foto's. Mooi van compositie en kleur. Je had het weer ook mee. De foto's 15-18 met de details van de molens vind ik ook erg mooi. Je kunt goed zien dat het nog voorjaar is door zowel de rust en doordat er nog weinig bladeren aan de bomen zitten. Daardoor kun je alles goed zien. Mieke

  • Anna, This album is beautiful! The colors are vibrant, the compositions skillfully done,the subjects are interesting. I would like to see photos of this same area with the flowers of spring and summer. This album and your other ones is better than most of the daily featured albums on Webshots. Keep up the good work, Craig
