This place is called 't Otterbos, 2016. It is a place of wet lands just outside the dike of polder De Wijde Wormer at a location almost hardly to reach. If you know the start of the dead end road, than you will find it by car.
This type of little wooden (or steel) windmills were used for removing rainwater on the surrounding wet lands into a water course situated at higher level. Now electrical pumps are common.
Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments.
This windmill is a part of the ensemble of authentic windmills which is the centrepiece of a 1.5 square kilometres (0.58 sq mi) open air Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine. This outdoor museum is located on the southern outskirts of the Ukrainian capital city.
Last week a lot of windmills in Holland were illuminated by lights, so I took the opportunity to photograph one of them during blue hour.....
Had a few days staying between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, weather was kind to us :-)
I didn't take a lot of photo's so I won't be posting many at a time... Under pressure from one of my contacts I went out after tea and visited this old windmill which wasn't too far away.. the sun wasn't quite setting but shooting into it's direction gave an interesting effect. I found it hard to get a shot with a reflection in, the mill being no longer used meant most of the water near it was overgrown with reeds.
The iconic windmills, unfortunately I had blank cloudless skies, at the end of an evening running around like a headless chicken taking blue hour photos of all of the island landmarks.
Today I traveled with a good friend of mine to enjoy the swedish landscape, sun and food ! After short discusion we decided to visit Lacko Castle. Almost 2,5 hours driving from the norwegian borders. We did off course use longer time because of many nice motives in our way. This is one of them. Have a nice day friends !

I love the 16-35mm f/4 for its versatility, but distortion at 16mm can be horrendous unless pointed straight ahead. This one needed a lot of vertical transformation in Lightroom to tilt that windmill (at the expense of a lot of crop) ;-)

Everyone's favourite Windmill at Chesterton in Warwickshire. Probably built by Sir Edward Peyto in around 1632. John Stone, a pupil of Inigo Jones, was in Chesterton around this time and probably helped build it. It was thought that this was built as an observatory but local records prove that it has always been used as a windmill.

This Windmill is one of Warwickshire's famous landmarks.
It was built around 1632-33 by Sir Edward Peyto (Lord of Chesterton manor).
Built from local limestone it is supported by six semicircular arches on piers.
The mill has undergone 3 major reconstructions:-
1 in 1776 when the shaft was modified
1 in 1860 when the cap was altered
and 1 in 1969 when larger reconstruction works began under the control of Warwickshire County Council (W.C.C) which finished in 1971.
This mill is the oldest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts.
