An unusual 6 foot Samson Air Flow made by Stover Manufacturing and Engine Company, circa 1939-1942. The rectangular blades and vane (tail) make this mill stand out. The Windmill Farm is Ruby and Chuck Rickgauer's passion, started when they brought a vintage windmill home from Ruby's family farm in South Dakota 20 years ago. Their collection has grown to 40 now.

On the walk down to the old town of mykonos, this windmill proved an attractive sight in the late afternoon sun.
For our last sightseeing stop on Mykonos (Μύκονος), Mike and I visited the famous group of windmills in Mykonos Town, also known as Chora (Χώρα). After a short hike through the Kastro (Κάστρο) and Little Venice (Μικρή Βενετία) areas, we arrived at our destination -- where I proceeded to take numerous photos of these picturesque structures. Here, you can see one of windmills situated behind a stone wall.
Brill Windmill is one of the most ancient and valuable post mills in the country. Situated on a hill top position in Brill, the mill is a major landmark in Buckinghamshire and an important reminder of what was once a common feature of the British landscape.
Some of the windmills are working at Dragonby, they are lovely and I just wish I had a house that looked over these, I hope they are going to go some way to give us cheaper electricity...
I love windmills. They always remind of the cowboy riding the open range. While far from a country western song maybe this song from Phantom of the Opera was in the thoughts running through some of those cowboys mind.
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Never dream out in the world
There are arms to hold you
Youve always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved
Alone
Windmill, Madingley, Cambridge, 27 Oct 2014
Whenever I have a chance to photograph this windmill it is either a clear blue sky or grey and miserable. One day...
The Volendam Windmill Museum, built in 1965 by the late Dane Poul Jorgensen. After retiring in the mid-sixties he decided to dedicate himself for the rest of his lift to his dream of building a windmill. Poul had worked in Europe as a shipbuilder and, while in the Netherlands, had become fascinated by windmills. The Volendam Windmill was a working mill driven by wind, used for grinding raw grain into flour. The 60-foot structure is seven stories high with sail arms 68 feet from tip to tip. Exhibits such as old milling tools and millstones are housed in a seven-story windmill. Now closed and in disrepair
October 7, 2012 - I was trekking through the small town of El Paso Colorado, and stumbled across a home that had numerous windmills on display as yard decorations. The lady of the house, Penny, was quite gracious in allowing me on to her property and photograph these wonderful windmills. Penny told me that her Dad, who was 80+ years old, collected these windmills over the years, and spent his time restoring them. Now the windmills are on display (fully functional I might add) on the property. This is a shot of an old Eclipse windmill. \
This neat windmill is just south east of town. I thought it looked rather nice against the colored sky

Öland is famous for its windmills which were built in the 19'th century. The landscape is very rocky, in consequence farming is mostly impossible. So Öland provided the mainland of sweden with the milling service. Later they also dragged stones for graves with their windmill power.
Bocking windmill which is Grade 1 listed was built around 1721 but moved to its current site in around 1830 as building development was shielding it from the wind. The windmill is an impressive site on the Braintree to Sudbury Road where its 60 feet sail span stands out against the horizon.Inside the mill still as has a lot of original equipment and some agricultural items of historic value. The friends of Bocking Windmill give it support and are committed to developing the site as a museum.
A Quick shot up at Wilton Windmill, I intend to do a longer exposure in the future but this'll do for the moment.
