Scouting for Full Moon Site - This is Gate 13 near Birds Landing. There is a nice curve in the maintenance road and you can get a good triangle with the front 3 windmills. The moon should rise near where the road meets the horizon.
Windmills near Altamont. Poor framing on my part, but I like the cow casually grazing in front of these giant rotating blades.
This windmill was first built in 1804 in Holland. It was then shipped to Aruba piece by piece and reconstructed in 1960.

The first of the windmills in the Rural Museum is probably the rarest in the town - a Plavia windmill manufactured by van Gelder of Sydney in the late 1920s.

Celebrating the areas Dutch heritage, the town of Fulton, IL is home to one of two working Dutch windmills in the US. This windmill was constructed using traditional methods, e.g. wooden pegs rather than mechanical fasteners, in the Netherlands and shipped to the US where it was assembled.
