Caught this windmill just west of where I live near sunset. I loved how a local hawk has found a new use for it.
Up close to Rottingdean Smock mill. Unfortunately not a lot is left of its interior although the remains of the fantail are still stored within. A modern tubular steel skeleton supports what is left of the old mills structure
I never knew of this windmill's existence till I came upon it at 4am. Needless to say I was quite surprised-so very Dutch in the Somerset countryside! I later returned at dawn to photo it.
After quite some time I decided to play with it (skew,S curve ect) and stick it on Flickr.

The rudder sail of the windmill at Wilton in Wiltshire. It's surprising how well ballanced the whole revolving top of the windmill is. With only a very light breeze that day any slight movement of the sail easily moved the top dome and main sails. The rest in the series can be viewed on my stream. Thanks for visiting.

I loved all the windmills on the way out to Pittsburgh from Salt Lake. Not a great picture, but pretty good considering it was taken from the car window.
I went on a wonderful walk to Halnaker Windmill, West Sussex yesterday. "This ancient track follows the route of Stane Street, the London to Chichester Roman road. There’s a feeling of stepping back in time as you pass through a wonderful tunnel of trees. A path then turns off north up to the hill top."
