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.

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...
Hier treffen Technikgenerationen aufeinander. Gesehen an der Strasse zwischen Burgsteinfurt und Borghorst im Münsterland. Die alte Hollicher Mühle im Vordergrund. Im Hintergrund die "verspargelte" Landschaft.
Techniquegenerations stumble here on each other. Seen at the street between Borghorst and Burgsteinfurt in the Muensterland. The old Hollicher mill to the fore. In the background the "verspargelte" landscape.
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. \
Het Gein is een riviertje van ongeveer 6 km lengte tussen Driemond en Abcoude. Het verbindt de Gaasp met de Angstel, en loopt ten westen van het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal geheel binnen de grenzen van Abcoude, sinds 1 januari 2011 gemeente de Ronde Venen. Tot 1 augustus 1966 lag het oostelijk deel, voorbij de Velterslaan, echter in de voormalige gemeente Weesperkarspel. Het gedeelte binnen Abcoude tot de Angstel heet, omdat het daar erg smal is, het Nauwe Gein waar de Brug Nauwe Gein het Kerkplein met de Hoogstraat verbindt.
Langs beide oevers van het Gein loopt een weg, namelijk Gein-Noord en Gein-Zuid; beide hebben tweerichtingsverkeer. Ter hoogte van Abcoude is onder het Gein het Rien Nouwen Aquaduct gebouwd voor de spoorlijn Amsterdam-Utrecht, ter vervanging van de hefbrug. Daarnaast is een voetgangers- en fietsersbrug gebouwd genaamd "Jan Swinkelsbrug". Verder is er nog de Wilhelminabrug, een fiets- en voetgangersbruggetje nabij de Velterslaan die het Gein met de Kanaaldijk-West van het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal verbindt.
Evenwijdig aan de Ruwelswal en de Hollandse Kade loopt een fietspad dat van het Gein-Noord langs de Gaasperzoom en de woonwijk Gaasperdam in Amsterdam-Zuidoost naar het recreatiegebied De Hoge Dijk tot de Abcouderstraatweg ter hoogte van het Abcoudermeer. Bij Driemond kruist de provincialeweg met een brug het Gein waar Gein en Gaasp samenkomen.
Het Gein loopt door de Stelling van Amsterdam en vormt daar een onderdeel van. Ook staan er de molens Oostzijdse Molen en Broekzijder Molen en verschillende monumentale boerderijen waaronder ook een kaasboerderij. Een aantal daarvan hebben toebehoord aan de Amsterdamse Adel.
De wijk Gein (de meest zuidoostelijke wijk van Amsterdam) en het metrostation Gein van de lijnen 50 en 54 zijn genoemd naar dit riviertje.
Rond 1905 wordt het riviertje en zijn omgeving regelmatig geschilderd door Piet Mondriaan.
Sarre Mill is a typical Kent Smock Mill, built in 1820 by the Canterbury millwright John Holman. The mill is equipped with a set of Derbyshire Peak stones and is now one of the few remaining commercially worked windmills in England, producing high quality stoneground flour in the best traditional way. Great for home made bread!
Visitors can tour the Mill to see how it works. There is also a shop and tea room open Thurs to Sunday.
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.
Many years ago in pre-Internet days a friend and I spent a week or two on the Greek Island of Patmos. Didn't take photos much in those days so when a documentary on Patmos turned up on TV I decided to take a few screen shots for old time sake of scenes I could remember.
A hopefully majestic looking shot of the back of the Jill windmill. As it wasn't a very windy day, Jill wasn't doing much.

De molen 'De Meeuw' stamt uit 1852. Het is een achtkante bovenkruier met stelling. De eerste eigenaar, Wilke Pathuis, was hier molenaar tot 1879. Van hem kocht Th.

Rijzinga die de molen in 1961 verkocht voor 2.000 gulden aan de gemeente Ezinge.
A windmill somewhere near Wanbi on the way from Loxton to Karoonda. A typical sight in the Australian bush, these windmills pump water up from natural underground streams and reservoirs to feed stock,a nd sometimes to provide domestic water.
Ashton Windmill near Chapel Allerton at dawn.
This was meant to be a photo of Burnham Lighthouse but it was far too cold and windy, so we went here instead!?
This windmill, which now stands in Greenfield Village, was built in the mid-1600s on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
This was my first adventure going up for a closer look at this windmill that can be seen for miles around.
