The Kinderdijk windmills, dating from 1738-1740, were built to drain the excess water from the Alblasserwaard polders - which are situated below sea-level - and pump the water into the outlets. During the "Mills in Floodlight" week, only once a year, the windmills are the focal point of the Kinderdijk light spectacle.
Thanks for reminding me, Wim. I`ve had this on the wishlist for 3 years now but somehow it never happened.
PS:
Photography is something I enjoy the most on my own or with 1 or 2 minds alike. Being outdoors, away from the daily crowd and doing something creative is my way of recharging the inner battery. So I hate it when there are too many photogs in one place, especially with flashing cellphones and stuff like that...And I certainly wasn`t prepared for 30+ tripods on a small bridge, hence the different approach :)
The sun rises behind an abandoned mill as a freight train sits ready in front. I shot this with my Google Pixel 2 and it pisses me off!
=History==
The mill was erected c1820 by millwright Robert Barnes of [[Great Yarmouth]]. It was disused in 1883 but later put back to work. The mill was worked by wind until 1956. Her owners, the [[Somerleyton]] [[Estate (law)|Estate]] were keen to ensure that she was preserved. [[Suffolk County Council|East Suffolk County Council]] agreed in principle that the mill should be preserved, and approached the [[Ministry of Works (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Works]] who agreed to pay half the cost of the restoration. Most of the rest of the money came from East Suffolk County Council and the Suffolk Preservation Society, with smaller amounts from other groups.{{cite book | first =R J| last = Brown| year = 1976| title = Windmills of England| pages= 176| publisher = Robert Hale| location = London| isbn = 0-7091-5641-3}}
Restoration of the mill was undertaken by Thomas Smithdale & Sons, the [[Acle]] [[millwright]]s. The mill was officially opened on 25 July 1958 by Charles Howlett, who had been marshman at the mill for over forty years. Further restoration work was done in 1971 by Neville Martin, the [[Beccles]] millwright.
Singraven Water Mill, the only working water-powered sawmill in the Netherlands. The mill receives water from the Dinkel river. Beautiful area!
Flatford Mill, on the River Stour in Suffolk, was a successful commercial enterprise owned by John Constable’s father, the wealthy merchant Golding Constable, and later by John’s brother, Abram (John wanted to become a painter and showed little interest in the family business). The water-powered mill, built in 1733, ground grain for flour, and milling continued here until the early 20th century.
After that, it fell into serious disrepair until it was acquired by the National Trust in 1943. It has now been restored to its former glory and is leased by the Trust to the Field Studies Council, an educational charity which helps people of all ages understand and be inspired by the natural world.
The mill is noted for its appearance in a number of John Constable's paintings, including Flatford Mill from a Lock on the River Stour and Flatford Mill from the Lock (A water mill), both owned by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
De Onrust is a flour mill in Oude Pekela in the province of Groningen.
The mill was built in 1850 as a corn and hulling mill, only some remnants of the pelwerk remain. The mill has been, since 1956, municipal property first of the municipality of Oude Pekela, since the municipal reorganization of 1990 of the municipality of Pekela. The mill has been restored several times and is regularly operated on a voluntary basis thanks to some voluntary millers, including an instructor from the Guild of Voluntary Millers and her students. The mill used to have self-pressure on a rod, but the 21-meter-long rods are now equipped with the Old Dutch wiek system with sails.

My wife said I am mad, and she is probably right. Been experimenting recently with night photography and this was my second visit to a local windmill. Trying different angles and long exposures. Mill painted with torch light for about a minute (could have done with a bit more!) during ~12 minute exposure.
Limpenhoe drainage mill was built on the bank of the River Yare in 1831. The mill has stood derelict for many years but this year has seen signs of renovation, with a protective cap being fitted. In this shot, the remains of the scoop wheel can also be seen.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
The Baker's Mill will be part of a larger complex with a bakery.
There's a little dock at the river where wheat and flour can be transported.
There's also a little chicken coop and some beehives for fresh ingredients for the baker's baked goodies ^_^
The design of the Mill is based on a Dutch 'Standerdmolen' (meaning literally "Mill on a stand")
The top part of the mill can turn to face the wind, and of course the sails can turn too.
Speaking of sails… seems like the miller's son has gotten himself in some trouble O_o
The historic Thompson-Perkins Mill is a prominent landmark within the LeBreton Flats area and the Ottawa River islands. The heritage building was one of the first grist mills to be built at the Chaudière Falls, and is the oldest surviving stone mill building in Ottawa. Built in 1842, the mill pays homage to the rich Canadian history of brewing, as brewery and distillery operations have flourished in the vicinity of the Flats and Chaudieres Island over centuries. The site and building offer unique views of the Capital, attractive access to the Ottawa River and exemplify the history and industrial heritage of Canada’s Capital Region.

Flatford Mill is a Grade I listed watermill on the River Stour at Flatford in East Bergholt, Suffolk, England. According to the date-stone the mill was built in 1733, but some of the structure may be earlier. Attached to the mill is a 17th-century miller's cottage which is also Grade I listed
Various mills have occupied this spot since the first building was erected in the year 969. In the Middle Ages, the mill was owned by the nearby Benedictine Abbey, and peasants were under an obligation to have their flour ground in the mill. Part of the flour was withheld as payment by the miller. When in 1500 the Abbot diverted the river water in order to supply the mill with sufficient power, the neighbouring village was flooded. The villagers rose up in protest, and fifteen years later they were granted permission to change the course of the water in case of an emergency.
At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, ownership of the mill reverted to the Crown.
The best-known miller is the nineteenth-century Quaker Potto Brown, a wealthy man who was so pious that he carried his ledgers to family prayer meetings in order to discuss with his Maker debts owed him. After his death, a bronze bust of him was erected.
In 1688 Fort Andross was established as a trading post here on the Androscoggin River. Eventually a mill was constructed and after a number of failures Cabot Mills was successful and in 1930 employed over 1100 workers in the two mills. By 1941 it was sold and soon closed. In 1986 It was purchased anew and has been converted into a multiple use facility. The bottom section here is a permanent flea market. In the three stories above there are a number of diverse uses. Included is John Bisbee, a sculptor who (until recently I think) worked almost exclusively using carpenters nails with which he construct his sulputures.

Klondyke Mill was an ore processing mill on the edge of the Gwydir Forest, near Trefriw, north Wales.
Constructed in 1900,[1] the mill was built to receive lead ore (and some zinc ore) from Pandora mine, some 2 miles away – with which its history is inextricably linked – this ore travelling along a tramway which followed the eastern shore of Llyn Geirionydd. The mill saw little usage; Pandora mine was never profitable after construction of the mill, and the mine ceased operation in 1905. Klondyke mill itself closed in 1911 after having a short succession of optimistic owners.
In the 1920s, the mill achieved notoriety as the scene of an elaborate money-making scam, when investors were sought for the Klondyke mine, which was allegedly rich in silver. It is this scam which gives the mill its current name; during its years of operation it was initially known as Geirionydd Mill, then as the New Pandora Lead Works.[1]
Today the mill lies in a ruined state, a tribute to the false optimism of the time, and is believed to be the largest upstanding building associated with lead mining in north Wales.[2] It is a registered ancient monument [3][4] and, despite its state of disrepair, is under the guardianship of Cadw, the only mine structure in the Gwydir Forest to be so designated.
