Stoomgemaal Mastenbroek (steam pumping station) is a rare slice of Dutch industrial heritage. Photograph the brick-and-steel machinery, large pump housings, and the surrounding polder landscape with water/sky lines. Best light is early morning or late afternoon when the flat countryside gives clean, low-angle reflections. Weekdays feel calmer; interiors depend on opening hours.
