River atran / Falkenberg

Its been a while since I uploaded one of my old windmill photos, so here's another I took when just a lad :-)

For a few years in the 1960s the annual family holiday was spent on the Norfolk Broads. I had a fascination with the windmills, many of which were derelict. Borrowing the family box camera and buying a film with some of my holiday money, I took photos of several of these wonderful sentinels from times past. This photo was taken c1965, but I couldn't tell you on which river the windmill was sited, or if any of the structure still stands today...

We probably will not see any more new windmills as they are replaced with solar panels, battery and electric pump, not so photogenic.

On our way to Tomifobia, while driving the countryside roads of the Eastern Townships, we were lucky enough to see a nice rainbow.

Windmolen De Goliath te midden van veel grotere windturbines.

De molen viel tot 2003 officieel onder de plaats Uithuizermeeden in de gemeente Eemsmond. In laatstgenoemd jaar heeft de molen een nieuw postadres gekregen met als plaatsnaam Eemshaven. De molen uit 1897 is de noordelijkste molen van het Nederlandse vasteland en is dankzij de enthousiaste molenaar Ida Wierenga-Spijk een begrip geworden in Noord-Nederland en zelfs ver daarbuiten. De molen is eigendom van de Stichting Beheer en Behoud van het Poldermolencomplex De Goliath.

 

De Goliath heeft geen functie meer (de watergang loopt nu om de molen heen), maar bemaalde ooit de Eemspolder. De molen kan het water echter wel rondmalen in een circuit. De molen is in 2006 voorzien van een nieuw wiekenkruis en is weer taalvaardig.
