The windmills are symbolic to the Netherlands.
Historically, people have been utilizing the wind power
in their lives in the Netherlands. The red tent in this
photo is owned by an engineering team of Delft
University of Technology where Jansen has graduated.

In the suburbs of Amsterdam
Many art installations and exhibits are seen around
the neighborhoods and communities in the cities and
towns of the Netherlands. One of the examples is the
strandbeest "Rhinoceros". The Rhinoceros is now
retired and stands quietly showing off its graceful 5m
tall body. In a nearby park, we found a tent lab that is
an experimental living space run by wind power.
At the end of our trip, we were very inspired by the
people's appreciation of the art and their interests
and support for environmental preservation.
