Albert Dros, a Dutch photographer with a penchant for the magical, has captured the windmills of his homeland in a new light. His series, aptly titled “Magic Windmills”, transforms the iconic Dutch landscape into an ethereal dreamscape. Dros ventures out under the cloak of morning fog, using its soft tendrils to create a sense of mystery and wonder. The windmills themselves become stoic giants, their dark shapes emerging from the mist like watchful guardians. Canals become reflective pathways, their surfaces mirroring the swirling sky above. Dros’s masterful use of light and shadow adds a touch of drama, making these familiar scenes feel otherworldly and enchanting.
These photographs are more than just landscapes; they are invitations to a bygone era where fairytales bloomed and nature held a touch of the extraordinary. Dros’s work reminds us of the beauty that can be found in the everyday, if we only have the eyes to see it.
