Great Haseley, Oxfordshire.
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.
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 :-))
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.

A Montreal landmark is Windmill Point which juts out into Lac St. Louis and includes an old Windmill and a Monastery. It is a favourite place for artists to sketch, paint, photograph or just visit along the West Island area of Montreal, both in summer and winter. It is located in the old Village of Pointe Claire.
Windmill "De Woudaap" in Krommenie. Around 1651 was in Krommenie, on the canal Nauernasche Vaart, a mill built with the name "De Woudaap". He had this name due to an oil mill in the neighborhood, which burned in 1915. Originally the mill "De Woudaap" drain the polder `t Woud dry. In 1948 it merged with polder Krommenie to Krommenieër-Woudpolder. Until 1995 he had intended for the polder Krommenieër-Woudpolder to drain, since then De Woudaap, on a voluntary basis, are frequently used to drain the Polder.
I'm having a clear out of my photos in lightroom and came across this one from last year of the Jill windmill in Sussex.
I've disabled commenting because of poor internet, lack of patience with said internet, plus am having too much fun to do commenting! lol.
The windmills are in itself a beauty but when you get a chance to capture them along with the swan it is a real treat. Now the beauty is doubled. Thanks to the slient water and still swan :)
Windmühle Hille
Der Erdholländer wurde 1733 erbaut. Der bauchig-konische Mühlenturm wurde im unteren Drittel aus Schieferbruchsteinen und darüber aus Feldbrandsteinen gemauert.
Bis 1951 wurde die Mühle mit Flügeln betrieben, dann brach im Sturm ein Flügel ab und die Mühle wurde mit einem neben dem Gebäude stehenden Motor angetrieben. 1956 brach ein Getriebeteil am Motorgang und der Mühlenbetrieb wurde gänzlich eingestellt.
Nach der Restaurierung hat die Mühle wieder windgängige „rechtsdrehende“ Segelflügel – eine Besonderheit im Windmühlenbau, drehen sich doch sonst fast alle Flügel andersherum – sowie eine Windrosenanlage mit zusätzlichem „Ziehrad“.
