Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, belonging to the municipality of Molenwaard, in the province South Holland, about 15 km east of Rotterdam. Kinderdijk is situated in a polder in the Alblasserwaard at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best-known Dutch tourist sites. They have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
The name Kinderdijk is Dutch for "Children dike". In 1421, during the Saint Elizabeth flood of 1421, the Grote Hollandse Waard flooded, but the Alblasserwaard polder stayed unflooded. It is said that when the terrible storm had subsided, someone went on to the dike between these two areas, to see what could be saved. In the distance, he saw a wooden cradle floating on the waters. As it came nearer, some movement was detected. A cat was seen in the cradle trying to keep it in balance by jumping back and forth so that no water could get into it. As the cradle eventually came close enough to the dike for a bystander to pick up the cradle, he saw that a baby was quietly sleeping inside it, nice and dry. The cat had kept the cradle balanced and afloat. This folktale and legend has been published as "The Cat and the Cradle" in English.
A network of 19 windmills was built around 1740 to drain the polder of Kinderdijk and surrounding polders. (Polders are areas of land below sea level that are protected by dikes.) The windmilles stand in neat rows along an L-shaped drainage canal, where they pumped water from the surrounding polders, until steam and electric pumps offered more reliable protection against flooding. This group of mills is the largest concentration of windmills in the Netherlands. And nowhere in the world you will find as many windmills as near the village of Kinderdijk. The foundation "Wereld Erfgoed Kinderdijk" maintains and preserves the windmills in Kinderdijk. The preservation is not limited to the windmills themselves, but also covers the area in which the windmills are situated. The windmilles were...

Paaszaterdag 7 april 2012: met de Fotoclub Breda op excursie naar de molens bij Kinderdijk. Het was bepaald géén windstille dag. Vele wieken draaiden hun rondjes. Het leverde nostalgische plaatjes met de typisch Nederlandse luchten. We waren steeds in gezelschap van busladingen fotograferende toeristen.

The European kingdom of Holland, known also as the Netherlands, was until relatively recently a powerful trading nation that possessed many colonies.Most of this land of tulips, windmills and canals is located below sea level and in the 17th century was the most prosperous country in Europe. Amsterdam is Holland`s splendid metropolis, a city of canals and gables where almost anything is permitted as long as it does no harm. Today the view across the main square and royal castle gives little hint that the city is supported by stakes and is the largest lakeland village in the world.

e se eu fizesse coisas que não disse
e se dissesse frases que não penso
e se quisesse o que não faço
sem cair em contradição
ficasse em pé ao invés de cair no chão
quando por um querer qualquer
me comprometesse
a cruzar a rua na contramão
ah! eu não vou dizer que sim
nem vou fingir que não
se lamentasse perdas que não tive
se inventasse fatos que não vi
e se negasse o que existe
sem cair em contradição
ainda assim eu não teria um minuto de silêncio
ah! eu não vou dizer que sim
nem vou fingir que não
não, eu não vou me torturar
mantendo culpas
os medos vão passar
vão confirmar a mentira que contei pra mim
ah! eu não vou dizer que sim
nem vou fingir que não
não, eu não vou me torturar
mantendo culpas
segredos têm seu lugar
vão confirmar a mentira que contei pra mim
não, eu não vou me preocupar
não tenho mágoas
os medos vão passar
vão confirmar a mentira que contei
vão confirmar a mentira que contei
vão confirmar a mentira que contei... pra mim
