Looking west a few miles east of Carlock, Illinois, the White Oak Wind Farm towers dot the farmland.
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.
Bembridge IOW
Knowle Mill, better known today as Bembridge Windmill is a Grade I listed tower mill at Bembridge, Isle of Wight, England which has been preserved.
Bembridge Mill was built c1700. It was painted by Turner in 1795. The mill was working by wind until 1915, having only been used for grinding animal feed after 1897. The mill was restored in 1935 and again in 1959, the latter being funded by public subscription. In 1962 the mill was taken over by the National Trust. It has been restored and is open to the public.
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.

I went to my parent's place for Thanksgiving. IT was the first time I was able to see their windmills.
A very familiar sight for many holidaymakers on their way to Blackpool - you always knew that you weren`t far from Blackpool once you`d passed the windmill !
