During the period of January 27 and February 12, the Dutch province of South Holland celebrated its 6th annual "Illuminated Historic Farms". This time it was held in my area, which is known as the Krimpenerwaard. There are hundreds of farms, however not all are actually working farms. Many have been converted into estate homes, studios and businesses. There were 107 historic farms and windmills illuminated in the freezing evenings in all their glory. This photograph is a rough sketch of the oldest of all the houses, dating back to 1597. The text on the building "tot hier an toe" means "until here" which refers to the location of this house at the border between two villages: Vlist and Bergambacht.
