My dad lives in Quartzsite, Arizona. I do not go there often, but always enjoy the scenery when I do. There is an old windmill just behind his place which is quite scenic, although it has fallen apart now even more than what it looks like here. It seems to be a favourite target for those with big guns and little respect (you know who you are).

I shoot with a camera instead of a firearm. I respect property and nature. I know many people who have guns (for hunting or collecting) and who use them in a responsible manner. I also have met those who see nature and property as a bullseye rather than something to behold with the eye. Life is something to take away, not give. How sad it is that they can only destroy as a means to find entertainment.

Aren't those windmills proper for Mykonos?

The two new windmills - one more to come next year.

Maximum output 1000 Kw. The tower weighs 100 tons, the top and wings weigh 90 tons and the motor axle is 55 metres from the base. The 50-metre diameter wings rotate at 25 rpm.

I took this last summer on a hilltop in Vejer.

A fully functional windmill that was imported and re-built. They use it to grind flour that they sell in the village.

One of the iconic windmills in Kinderdijk, Netherlands

The sun was just coming up as I went through windmill alley. I slammed on the brakes to pull up with the sun just about to rise in the middle of this group of windmills. This was taken with the little camera as I wouldn't have had time to fiddle with the SLR, and I wasn't in a really safe parking area. Remember, the best camera is the one you have with you.

Lovely Suffolk countryside, complete with a windmill. Note the interesting array of outbuildings.

Wilton Windmill was built in 1821 after the new Kennet and Avon canal was built. The mill was in operation for 100 years but with the fast production of cheap bread it became unwanted and was abandoned. It then sadly fell into disrepair. After a number of years it was finally restored to its former glory in 1976, by a team of dedicated volunteers. It is owned by Wiltshire Council who offer guided tours.
