A windy evening and a passing storm had the windmills working tonight. I shot this with the vintage Helios 4402 50mm lens.
I took this last year on our drive back from Belgium. It was a perfect ending to a nice day visiting Antwerp. I love this picture and the memory attached to it.
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.
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.

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.

Great Haseley Windmill
Another one from the little Fuji XT-2 and the 10-24mm.
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.
Kinderdijk windmills: unique & iconic water management
A significant part of Holland is situated up to approximately 7 meters below sea level. The Dutch don’t notice any of this though, because an incredibly innovative and intricate system keeps the ever-rising seawater from flooding the land. Even during spring tide, the Dutch are safely guarded from being washed away.
The most important aspect of UNESCO World Heritage Kinderdijk is undoubtedly the unique collection of 19 authentic windmills, which are considered a Dutch icon.
I did my best to try and get as straight a shot of the windmill as I could but it seems to be leaning over into the nearby stream!

Stansted Windmill is a grade II* listed ancient monument given to the people of Stansted by Lord Blyth in 1934. A classic example of a tower mill, Stansted Windmill is close to unique in having most of its original machinery with few replaced components.
The windmill on Bidston Hill is mentioned in an early manuscript dated 1609 and may have been there as early as 1596. It is next mentioned in the Kingston map of 1665 .
The mill of 1665 was a “peg mill”. It was destroyed in 1791 during a gale. In the high winds, the sails revolved so fast that the friction caused the machinery to ignite!
In 1800, a new “tower mill” was built from brick to replace the peg mill. The tower mill ground corn to flour for 75 years. Situated on top of Bidston Hill, it was ideally placed to catch the wind, but getting to and from the mill caused no end of problems for cart drivers. The windmill could produce 122 lb (about 51 kg ) of flour every 3 to 5 minutes (depending on the wind speed).
