Just a windmill in the middle of a housing estate. Everything is fine. Nothing to see here.
Decided to do a little light-painting this evening in Whitburn. Never been there before. It was quite a strange place, but they seemed to think I was strange, on my knees, in mud, at night, shining a torch at their windmill and grinning....
Love it! Going back am I!
This is a 1937 Aermotor windmill. It is 45 feet tall and for years pumped water for the family. In the 1970’s the house on the property where it sat fell into disrepair and had to be demolished. The windmill remained in place, but it was in poor condition. Recently, the great grandson of its original owner had it dismantled and moved to his property. Then after much research, it was repaired and older parts were restored. The old windmill now looks like new as it towers above the surrounding farmland.
Happy Windmill Wednesday!

I'm pleased to have another good looking windmill near me. This one has been restored to its former glory and looks perfect. I'm sure you will be seeing more shots of it in the future.
These photos are taken from the rest stop on westbound I-90 at the west edge of the Columbia River valley. There's a row of new (in the last year or so?) windmills running north from there.
Campo de Criptana
La Mancha
Spain
Campo de Criptana is home to the famous windmills that supposedly inspired Miguel de Cervantes, the author of Don Quichote.
I think we all know about the adventures of the Spanish nobleman and his servant Sancho Panza and if not you can read about it here Written in 1605 it is one of the earliest novels of modern western literature.
The story of Don Quichotes battle against the windmills you can see here :-))
