I love this windmill. It's the closest to me and I go there whenever I have the chance.
It's a beautiful spot overlooking the Ashdown Forest.
Clifton Queensland.
We probably will not see any more new windmills as they are replaced with solar panels, battery and electric pump, not so photogenic.

This Grade One listed picturesque wooden smock mill at Stelling Minnis, between Canterbury, Folkestone and Ashford, has been completely renovated to repair weather damage. It's owned by Kent County Council and managed by the Stelling Minnis Windmill and museum Trust which was came in being on 26 January 2010. The Mill was built by the Holman brothers of Canterbury in 1866 and is known as Davison’s Mill after the family who worked it for a century until the last miller Alec Davison died in 1970.
This windmill in Waltham, Linconlshire, was rebuilt in 1898 on the site of 3 previous windmills, and is still a functioning windmill for grinding grain.

Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel thats turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of her hair
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Cromer Windmill, Hertfordshire, 19 May 2011 (yes I went the same way two days in a row). A Grade II* listed building. I can't really believe how many times I've been past and not photographed it.
De Goliath is een poldermolen bij de Eemshaven, provincie Groningen.
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.

An old windmill in Ohessaare in Torgu Vald on the western side of Sõrve peninsula on Saaremaa island, Estonia.
The windmill was built in 1803 by local farmer James Noakes, Upminster Windmill continued to grind wheat and produce flour until 1934.
In 1937 the Windmill was purchased by Essex County Council with the intention of demolishing it. Fortunately, local interest in the mill grew and Hornchurch Urban District Council saved the day, starting a fund for the preservation of the mill.
