Thaxted Windmill

I have been driving past this windmill on my way home from work each week so thought it was about time to stop and take a photo. It looks more dramatic from the road but there's nowhere to stop so this had to be taken from a side road.

Having done some research I discovered that the mill, which stands just outside the village of Great Haseley, first operated in 1760 but fell into disrepair. Over the last 10 years it has been restored to its former glory.

Costa Rica's energy is almost 100% renewable, much of it coming from geothermal sources near the volcanos. Even knowing this, we were surprised to see a cluster of windmills along the road one day.

I saw only one windmill in Amsterdam. There's a tavern inside.

Sibsey was built by Saunderson of Louth in 1877, and is a very fine tall mill with an ornate gallery (stage). Sails turning fairly fast in a strong breeze.

Since the windmill is situated in a small area, I couldn’t get the whole structure to fit within my lenses so I looked up at the planes and took the shot from this angle instead.

I started the DLSR in 2009, before that I used simple DC.

Up close and personal of Heage Windmill. We had to dodge the sheep poo to get there, but it was worth it in the end!

Wonderful sunlight today and so I tracked down the windmill at Chapel Allerton, which I had never visited before. Good to be out in some decent light.

The windmill is one of the oldest surviving mills in West Sussex, originally built in 1750 to provide flour for the Goodwood estate. It was restored in 1934 and 1955. At a height of 400 feet it stands prominently on the South Downs near Chichester and was even painted by Turner. Although not used since the 1900s it has remained a useful landmark for mariners and it is said that it was used as a navigational aid by World War II pilots returning to base in Sussex. You can still see the machine gun shelters (for shooting down enemy planes) just a few hundred metres from the windmill.
