Vespa and windmills are a winner on this forum Laughing emoticon

Nice scoot! As for the helmet, I presume yellow license plate and 4-stroke ?

A windmill ?

TIP: Bring your wasp a few meter to the other site of the street. Make a picture in "kikvorsperspectief". Then you have your wasp and the whole windmill on display.
Second tip: Cut your windshield. It looks mutch better.

This last photo looks a lot like windmills in California.
I am not Dutch at all, I am a Heinz 57 Ohio American. I was stationed in Germany many years ago and intended to move to the Netherlands instead of coming back to the US. It did not work out that way. But I visited as much as possible the years I was living in Bruch.

(I have a girlfriend who is 100% Dutch, came here as girl with her family during war time)

The first time I drove across the border German-Dutch border and came upon a windmill I had to stop my van to look. It was HUGE. The size and the beauty do not come across in the photos. But I love them.

Thanks.
