On our way home from Nebraska we decided ot stop at the Danish Windmill that we had seen advertised along I-80. I was especailly interested it it since I am part Danish. The stop was well worth the short drive off the freeway.

The windmill was disassembled in Denmark, shipped to Elk Horn, Iowa where it was reassembled.

Lacey Green windmill stands on the escarpment of the Chiltern Hills, near Princes Risborough and halfway between High Wycombe and Aylesbury. Since 1971 it has been restored back to working order by members of The Chiltern Society. It has been restored to preserve its unique wooden machinery, which probably dates from around 1650, making this the oldest smock windmill in the country. It is thought that the body of the mill was rebuilt in the early 19th century, and at some time its machinery was modernised. The modernisations included the fitting of a fantail (on the back of the cap) to turn the cap into the wind automatically. The windmill was in use until around 1915. After this it was used in the 1920s as a weekend cottage. However despite some obvious attempts at weatherproofing (with corrugated iron sheets and roofing felt), by the mid 1930s it was in a poor condition, and rapidly deteriorating.

Another picture of my windmill in the backyard with the clouds.

Marsala is a lovely town set between Trapani and Sciacca. Windmills are certainly striking to admire while driving along the coast stretching over the salt pans. Breathtaking views at sunset are guaranteed.

I hired a scooter and explored the Algarve, stopping in at lots of small little beaches along the southern Portuguese coastline, and some interesting places off the beaten track such as these large windmills.

The windmills of Zaanse Schans.

Windmill at Drummer Boy Park in Brewster, Massachusetts.

Standing tall in the face of buffeting winds, I could barely stand up in to take the picture.

A litle different angle than the one I posted last month.

A shot taken minutes before the sun went down. Beautiful light.

On the bus watching the windmills and listening to "My December". Probably will be one of my best memories from Germany.
