The current windmill has been on the hill since 1980. The previous mill burned down in 1946 (built in the 1850s).
The skyline with a windmill was lost after the fire. After a while a committee was formed for the preservation of local history to find a replacement mill.
In 1978 Helsingborg city council offered the Stattena mill to the committee. After detailed planning th mill was moved during 1979-1980, by sea and land. After several years of non-profit work to restore the mill, it was inaugurated in 1984. Nowadays the mill is used for grinding flour several times a year.
You may visit all floors in the mill at open mill days and you can also admire the view over the strait between Sweden and Denmark.
Smock windmills were introduced by the Dutch in the 17th century. The lower half of the smock windmill was made of stone, while the upper half was made of wood.

E' stato un pittore italiano figurativo, paesaggista, aderente alla corrente dei "macchiaioli" fiorentini.
Il movimento macchiaiolo afferma la teoria della "macchia" sostenendo che la visione delle forme è creata dalla luce come macchie di colore, distinte, accostate o sovrapposte ad altre macchie di colore.
Was an Italian figurative, landscape painter, adhering to the current of the Florentine "Macchiaioli".
The Macchiaiolo movement affirms the "Macchia" theory by arguing that the vision of forms is created by light as spots of color, distinct, placed side by side or superimposed on other spots of color.

Lake Worth Beach is a city in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States, which takes its name from the body of water along its eastern border known as the Lake Worth Lagoon. The lake itself was named for General William J. Worth, who led U.S. forces during the last part of the Second Seminole War. As of 2010, the population estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau was 34,910. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people in 2015.
Lake Worth Beach was incorporated as the "Town of Lake Worth" in June 1913. Many of the first residents were farmers from other parts of the American south and mid-west, looking to benefit from the growing winter vegetable market of the time. The city benefited with the rest of south Florida during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. A wooden automobile traffic bridge over Lake Worth was completed in 1919. The first casino and municipal beach complex was completed shortly thereafter. The 1920s also saw the completion of the Gulf Stream Hotel, now on the National Register of Historic Places.
The city was severely damaged in the 1928 hurricane, toppling the bell tower on the elementary school (today the City Hall Annex) and destroying the beachfront casino and automobile bridge over Lake Worth. This led to a severe economic decline within the community, during the Great Depression. Things were so dire in the city in the 1930s, that President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration built a striking, moorish-styled "City Gymnasium" on the corner of Lake Avenue and Dixie Highway. The building today serves as City Hall.
William A. Boutwell, who ran the Boutwell Dairy from 1927 to 1956, is credited with inventing half & half creamer; the dairy later merged with Alfar Creamery and then T.G. Lee, who distributed the product more widely until it became an American diner staple.
Development started again after World War II with many modest pensioners, especially from Quebec, Finland, and eventually Germany, moving to the city and building 1,000-square-foot (93 m2) cottages. These new immigrants brought their industrious nature with them as well as their native customs, restaurants, shops, and churches and for decades the town flourished. To this day, one can find an abundance of beer halls, chocolatiers, Bavarian delicatessens, and Lutheran churches, which stand out in the semitropical urban sprawl of South Florida.
The South Florida construction boom brought a new wave of immigrants in the past few decades. Central Americans have added a Hispanic aspect to Lake Worth's culture. Included in the 1980s immigration were many Guatemalan-Mayans who consider themselves indigenous people, rather than "Hispanic" or "Latino" and some may not speak Spanish. They mostly converse in Mam, Q'anjob'al, or any one of 22 existing Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala. Adding to the racial and linguistic mix of the city is a large Haitian population, speaking Haitian Creole and French.
During a short period of neglect and decline in the 1980s and 1990s, Lake Worth, in the words of then-city commissioner Dennis Dorsey, "had become known as the skin-flick capital of the country." The venue now known as the Lake Worth Playhouse was the Playtoy, and was well known in Palm Beach County as the theater that showed x-rated movies; Deep Throat was shown there, motivating a police raid.
The downtown area has seen a huge resurgence in interest and now sports an array of art galleries, sidewalk cafés and night clubs. Once moribund property values have soared. The city's main street, Lake Avenue, contains some of the oldest commercial structures in South Florida, including the Art Deco Lake Worth Playhouse.
The city was hit especially hard by Hurricanes Frances, Jeanne, and Wilma in 2004 and 2005. The fishing pier was quite damaged but was repaired (with the help of FEMA) and reopened in May 2009. The pier is currently open to the public with entry fees of $1 per adult sightseer, and $3 per adult fisherman. The city's public swimming pool has been restored, and besides serving to instruct Palm Beach County residents in swimming and water safety, hosts water-sport competitions. The pier is home to a tide gauge with a sporadic history, showing an above average rate of sea level rise.
In 2015, the city was accused of asking for business licenses from surrounding churches.
In 2019 a ballot initiative to change the name of the city to Lake Worth Beach passed with a narrow margin. The city states that the name change "will be implemented slowly".

The Churchill polar bear population is one of the largest in the world. The currents of Hudson Bay run counter-clockwise and the first winters ice starts forming nearest Churchill. The bears spend their summer in and around Wapusk National Park which is southeast of town. During the fall months the bears find their way to the shore, their migration route runs thru town and north to the bay. It is important that they can get out on the sea ice and hunt. These months are the most critical as they must eat enough to survive the summer.
The wait is actually becoming much longer, due to climate changes.
Over breakfast, she glanced at the headlines—this morning it was about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a high-profile political figure who was fatally shot during a speaking event. In the photo, she’s seated by a window, hands clasped, eyes lifted—caught in a moment between the present and reflection. The light spilling in through the glass softens the scene: it’s not anger or shock exactly, but something quieter — pondering, absorbing, maybe unsettled. The patterned tabletop beneath her suggests that even in “ordinary” life, the weight of big events presses in.

It's currently 48 celcius/118 fahrenheit in the Phoenix Mertro area as I post this. I suppose it's the price we pay for having snowless, temperate winters.

The current wall. My masterpiece. When I moved, a few years ago, this was the first thing I thought of, "where to put the new 'wall'?"
It's smaller, to be sure. The last wall took up the majority of my apartment. But it's more concentrated, in an anteroom between the living room and the bedroom. More enveloping, hitting you from all sides.
Not as good for photo shoot backgrounds...but I'd pretty much tired of doing that, anyway.
And yes, pretty much every day, I stop, look around it for a bit, bask in its glory.

This truck bed was filled with dirt. I'm filling in areas to keep rain from puddling around my poly tunnel. Hard work, back hurts, feet ache, hands and wrists burn. Gotta keep on and tomorrow is a new day.
