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.
By making this picture with a very low POV, it seemed like that the windmill tried to reach out for the sky.

Broad verges backed by banks,
Of mature Oak and Beech,
Race down Warwickshire,
Through the verdure of the country,
Stratford upon Avon and Shakespear,
The breathtaking castles of Kenilworth and Warwick,
Or and hour, quiet and peaceful, at the Bancroft Basin,
Live forever as the Chesterton Windmill turns the time.
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.....

Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, in the province South Holland, about 15 km east of Rotterdam. Kinderdijk is situated in a polder at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best known Dutch tourist sites. They are a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
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.
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 !
The glorious Chesterton Windmill in South Warwickshire set against a field of Rapeseed and a lovely fluffy cloud formation.
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 Wirral landmark is set against a lovely blue sky and someone's sheep dog has photo bombed the shot. There's the history of this rather well preserved windmill on the Friends of Bidston Hill website via this link:- www.bidstonhill.org.uk/heritage/trail05/
