One of the local sights in Ermelo; windmill De Koe.
Just a trial shot taken with one of my new lenses. An M42 Jupiter-39 135mm F/5.6 manufactured by MMZ ("Minskiy Mechanichesckiy Zavod imeni S.I. Vavilova" or "Minsk Mechanical Factory"), Minsk, USSR. The company is now called "BelOMO".
The lens used to be part of a Soviet traffic police camera system, "Selena".
This shot was taken out the side window of a car moving at 80kph (50mph). I was quite pleased with the result.
Windmill Gardens is a restaurant (in the base of the windmill) and a reception centre (green roof). They have their own chapel out the back to host a complete wedding.
Before electricity came to the country, and for many years after that matter, harnessing wind power was common and usually attached to a water well. An especially valuable piece of equipment where cattle needed a plentiful supply of water even when mother nature did not provide rainfall to keep ponds and slews filled.
just back from a 10 day break in the U.K. and the Netherlands - as you might guess from the picture.
Highway 150, Kansas, United States
Since a young age, it's been a goal of mine to visit all 50 U.S. states. And more recently, I've added to that the goal of taking at least one good photo from each state I visit.
When I moved from L.A. back east to D.C., there was a single day in which I would be driving through Kansas—a state I'd never been to and had a hard time imagining I'd ever have a reason to be back. So, of course, I needed to find a way to both make good driving time and take a photo. The original plan was to get to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve on the eastern side of the state by mid-afternoon. But I somehow got stuck on the one Western Kansas freeway that had a major traffic jam, and it became clear I wasn't going to make it to the preserve before dark.
As it got close to sunset, I just pulled over on the side of the highway for my "Kansas" photo. Because the sunset was so colorful with lots of pinks, oranges, yellows, blues, whites, and purples, a silhouette seemed like a good idea. And this photo captures pretty well the Kansas I experienced from my car: flat, rural, and peaceful.

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel...
Mike and I decided that the best way to see Mykonos (Μύκονος) was to rent an ATV. After leaving the Avis rental office, we initially set off toward Korfos (Κόρφος) Bay, then reversed our route and made our way inland toward Ano Mera (Άνω Μερά). Along the way, we passed Bonis Windmill, which is affiliated with the Folklore Museum of Mykonos and located along Eparchiaki Odos Mikonou (Επαρχιακή Οδός Μυκόνου).

This was taken on an impromptu day trip to Anglesey. An amazing day out visiting some favourite old haunts. Late in the afternoon we arrived at Lynnon windmill: the last remaining working mill on Anglesey. It had officially closed for the day but we were very kindly allowed access to take a couple of photos!
