Missed a day of my photostream yesterday because of a road trip (on-going). This is along I-65 somewhere in Indiana.

Sibsey Windmill was built in 1877 to replace an earlier post mill. In its day it was the ‘Rolls Royce’ of windmills, and one of the very last to be built in Lincolnshire. It has been described as “one of the finest mills in the country, with its slender tower and elaborate wrought iron balcony.”
Chesterton Windmill is a 17th-century cylindric stone tower windmill with an arched base, located outside the village of Chesterton, Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building and a striking landmark in South-East Warwickshire.
The windmill is one of Warwickshire's most famous landmarks. It stands on a hilltop overlooking the village of Chesterton for nearly 350 years. It is near the Roman Fosse Way and about five miles (8 km) south-east of Warwick. It was built around 1632-1633, probably by Sir Edward Peyto, who was Lord of the Chesterton Manor House. At this time John Stone, a pupil of Inigo Jones, was in Chesterton designing the new Manor House and he probably helped with the windmill as well. Sir Edward was a Mathematician and Astrologer and probably his own architect to the windmill, but although claims have been made that the tower was originally built as an observatory, the estate accounts now at Warwick Record Office show that it has always been a windmill, making it the earliest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts.
Kinderdjik is an area outside of Albasserdam, NL that has perhaps a dozen original and working windmills. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Stevington Windmill near Bedford taken in the evening. Well worth a visit (I've geotagged it to help you find it!) as it's a lovely building in a beautiful spot.
Taken on the outskirts of Ashford. There are several windmills around Kent. However they are difficult to photograph as they are surrounded by houses. I decided to take this at an angle so I could eliminate the cars, houses, lampost etc! Taken with the 10-stop filter on to pick up the movement in the clouds, a first for me.
Will probably stick up colour versions in the future, just fancied B&W tonight.
Windmill located near Santa Ponsa in Mallorca, some elements like streetlights and traffic signals has been digitally removed

Built in 1821, above the village of Wilton, near Marlborough, Wilton Windmill was used until the 1930’s when it fell into disrepair. Restoration to working order was undertaken in 1976 and it is now a Grade II Listed Building of Special Architectural and Historic Interest, the only one of it's kind in Wessex still producing stone-ground, wholemeal flour - 25.06.15
The Kriemhildmühle is a historic windmill in Xanten and the only mill in the Lower Rhine that is operated daily.
The mill was built as part of the Xanten town fortifications in the form of a watch and defense tower at the end of the 14th century. The towers, which were severely damaged in the Thirty Years' War that lasted until 1648, served as living quarters for city servants until the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763. Thus, at that time, the Kriemhildmühle was called the night watchman's tower, as the town's night watchmen were quartered there.
Subsequently, the towers were sold for reasons of cost, and much of them were demolished by the buyers. In 1778 the night watchman's tower was sold to the merchant Gerhard Schleß, who had the walls of the tower renewed and installed a summer house in the tower. In 1804 he converted the tower into an oil mill in the form of a 19.3 m high windmill. Soon after, he sold the mill to a miller, whereupon the Kriemhildmühle became a flour mill and later became the property of the town of Xanten.
Since 1992, bread has been baked again in the mill and sold directly there as well as at weekly markets in the surrounding area.
