Although this mill is built exactly in the 19th Century Holland style, it was finished in 2004 - the architect and builder made his dream real, and later built a whole 19th Century village around it.
Most Spanish windmills like those described in Cervantes' Don Quixote, can be found in the province of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain.
Windmills at the 'Complexo Eólico Campos Neutrais'. This part of the complex is located at the southernmost corner of Brazil, metres away from the border against Uruguay, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul.

So, leave your desire for details in the background, and enjoy the view.
Follow the smiley to enjoy.
Happy Windmill Wednesday

A windmill located in a field along Foreside Street in Topsham, Maine. It may have been used to pump water but it looks to me that it is just a reminder of times past.
A 4 storey tower mill used to mill corn was built in 1823 and milled by wind until 1925.
From 1925 to 1941 it was powered by a Oil Engine.
The mill fell into disrepair and by 1978 it was derelict.
Purchased by James Waterfield it was restored and the works completed by 1985.
October 1987 saw the Mill tail-winded when one of the gears in the fantail drive system became disengaged, the result saw the sails come crashing to the ground.
With funds limited "The Friends of Bardwell Windmill" was set up and along with donations from "English Heritage" and "St Edmundsbury Council" the money was raised and the mill was restored and stands proud again.
We went for a drive a few months ago and ended up in the middle a windmill farm. There were so many and it was actually quite eerie..it was very quiet and cold on the day we went but there was a slow, quiet whooshing sound from the windmills..kind of made me feel like I was in a different world.
The windmill that can be seen for miles around in the village of Wrawby in northern Lincolnshire. No longer a working mill but it is open a few days each summer for you to have a look round inside. The rest of the year it serves as a photographic subject for thousands of photographers and snappers.
