prepared for the storm that was predicted over Detmold (Westphalia, Germany) - just when we had arrived in the open air museum by horse drawn coach. So we could not see it in its full glory
A post mill with a 2-storey roundhouse, built in 1721 and moved to its present site in 1829. It ceased working at the outbreak of the First World War and was renovated externally in the 1980s and internally in the 1990s. Most machinery remains.
It is believed that this Smock Mill was erected on Beacon Hill in 1802 as the carved initials TB, 1802, standing for Thomas Beard, the owner, are to be seen on one of the original internal timbers. Further evidence of the date comes from the Sussex Weekly Advertiser of the 7th June 1802, which states that a human skeleton was discovered by workmen digging for the foundations of the windmill.
The Mill ground the corn of the village and supplied flour to the local bakers until it ceased to function in 1881. After this time it became progressively dilapidated and the village was in danger of losing their mill.
In 1923 the Marquess of Abergavenny, Lord of the Manor, granted a 99 year lease of the Mill and a small piece of land around it, to a group of important village people as Trustees for the village. The Trustees undertook “‘not to alter or detract from the picturesque appearance of the Mill and to preserve the same as an object of interest to the inhabitants and visitors to Rottingdean and district”.
When Rottingdean was absorbed into Brighton Borough in 1928, the Corporation acquired all the downland to the west side of the village from the Abergavenny estate, including the lease of the Windmill. The lease and trusteeship expire in 2021 at which time responsibility for the Mill will revert to Brighton and Hove City Council.

You drive a couple of hours to shoot your selected spot and its pissing with rain. We haven't had rain in well over 4 weeks and 10 minutes down the road its dry as a bone, Good job it was dry here. Straight out of the camera and lit by drone.
Woodchurch Windmill is a fine example of a four-storey kentish smock mill on a single-storey brick base with a Kentish-style cap and winded by a fantail.

came across this mill on a weekend trip out of the city. a very photogenic object, i think.
It reminds me of a wooden mill which I want to photograph back in Poland (i often travel in the Eastern part of the country, and the landscape there is just great). Oh, how i long for spring and summer!
Update: I shot the above photo in Podersdorf am See, Austria.
Yes, people actually live in some of these historic windmills in Kinderdijk. Apparently, it's a sought-after privilege to live there, and the tenant must be trained and commit to keeping the sails moving a certain number of hours each day.
It was a gray, drizzly day when we visited Kinderdijk, but near the end of our tour a bit of blue sky peeked through the clouds.
I've been culling and re-editing images to submit to Adobe Stock, and this one made the cut!
This picture was taken at the Whitelee Farm, which is the UK's largest windfarm. We were there hunting geocaches and ended up finishing the series in the dark as the sun was setting.
Pirogovo, Kiev Oblast, Ukraine
Some background information:
Originally Pirogovo used to be a village about 30 km south of the Ukrainian capital city Kiev. But nowadays the territory of historic Pirogovo serves as the location of an outdoor museum of folk architecture and life of the Ukraine. The museum, which was founded in 1969, comprises 370 acres of land and contains over 300 carefully reassembled buildings of folk architecture brought here from all parts of Ukraine.
Those buildings include commoner's homes, houses of small trade, commerce and local administration, old wooden village churches and windmills. They contain authentic items that represent the everyday lifestyle of Ukrainian villagers and townsfolk. Dressed in old-style clothes local volunteers and modern Ukrainian artisans sell their wares there and demonstrate the use of authentic everyday items to the visitors.
Pirogovo museum has been accorded the status of State Museum of Ukraine and is affiliated with the Institute of Arts, Folklore and Ethnology of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine.
Built in the early 1700s, this is the sole remaining Windmill on the Isle of Wight.

My first visit to this location been meaning to go for a while now. So went last Friday evening although the forecast didn't look promising but at least I thought I can scout the location out.
But as I often say to my darling wife you never know.
And I got some lovely light for all of 2 minutes to get this shot.
