About the artwork

I borrowed an OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5ii with Olympus 12-40mm 2.8 lens for free on May 6yh 2016 for a weekend. The day after I decided to go to The Zaanse Schans, a windmill and museum park in Noord-Holland province which was the most popular attraction with foreign tourists in the Netherlands last year. After arriving just 15 min before sunset I made some sunset photos. After that I decided to wait till the blue hour kicked in and made this photo of the famous cheese farm. I wasn't the only photographer who was busy there.

More about the cheese farm from the picture
The Catharina Hoeve is a genuine 17th-century cheese farm, positioned at the Zaanse Schans, near to Amsterdam. The Zaanse Schans is a popular traveler destination for good reason: its historic wood homes, storage facilities and fully-operating windmills use a real taste of 'Old Holland'. Upon arrival at the Catharina Hoeve you can go to a cheese-making presentation, along with tasting the different items and checking out the present store, where you'll discover a wide range of goat, cow and sheep items. Entry and tasting are totally free. Presentations are offered in numerous languages.

The Zaanse Schans is a historical Zaanse community established in 1963 in the town of Zaanstad with shifted listed wood structures and industrialized windmills from the Zaan area. Gradually, it has actually been supplemented by different facilities, cultural-historical museums and craft shops.
