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.

Windmill 'De Meeuw' ('Seagull') dates back to 1852.
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. Grijpstra uit Oudebildtzijl de Meeuw, en verhuurde hem aan G. de Groot en aan B. Smit en aan J. M. Kok. In 1905 werd L. Groeneveld molenaar - eigenaar, en in 1918 H. 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.

This was meant to be a photo of Burnham Lighthouse but it was far too cold and windy, so we went here instead!?
This was my first adventure going up for a closer look at this windmill that can be seen for miles around.
This information was on a sign by the entrance:
This Windmill is over 600 feet above sea level and it was built around 1680. It was last used for milling barley, but ceased in 1919.
The four sails, 27 ft long and 5 ft wide had large canvas cloths which were unrolled accordingly to the strength of the wind.

I was going to get Flori and Ishmael to pose here, but this lady decided to have her lunch in the shade of the windmill and I don't blame her, it was very warm!
I found it, I finally found it! I had seen this windmill back in 2005 on a ride around Robertson and surrounding counties, but could not figure out where the location was on the map-->see former listing flic.kr/p/bAnZ8y. I had searched and searched to no avail. And then while driving in the area again recently, we drove by it and I nearly had a spazz attack! It is located west of Springfield in front of a large nursery business/farm.
The Windmills (Kato Milli) - Mykonos windmills, are a short walk from the town center and one of the must-see attractions in the area.
October 7, 2012 - I was trekking through the small town of El Paso Colorado, and stumbled across a home that had numerous windmills as yard decorations. The lady of the house, Penny, was quite gracious in allowing me on to her property and phtograph these wonderful windmills. Penny told me tha ther Dad, who was 80+ years old, collected these windmills over the years, and spent his time restoring them. Now they are on display (fully functional I might add) on the property. This is a shot of an old Planttner Yale windmill.
The Fabyan windmill, 2006, recently restored. Created of ancient timbers, it is one of the most intact examples of its kind.
This windmill is the oldest on Cape Cod. It has resided in several places during its life but it was built in Plymouth in 1680 (by Thomas Paine of Eastham) and moved to Eastham in 1793. It arrived at its current location in 1808. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and if you visit Eastham in September, you might be in time for the annual Windmill Weekend. The windmill is still in working condition. Given the ambient wind in this part of Cape Cod, a windmill was a good choice for the location.
