Tuxford windmill is situated just off the old Great North Road (now the B1164) north of Tuxford. The Windmill Tearoom is adjacent. On the day of my visit there was a stiff breeze blowing and the sails were going round at a fair old rate.
Of the three thousand windmills on Mallorca, some dating back to the seventeenth century, six hundred of these are “classic” windmills and are the most widespread. They are recognised by their six sails and peaked “cap”, and were used for grinding grain.

It is a Grade II* listed tower mill with six sails and a fantail and built of local
ironstone and is over two hundred years old. Standing on the brow of a hill it

Constructed in 1810 in Portsmouth, RI. It was disassembled and rebuilt in Paradise Park in Middletown in 1999. It is listed on the NRHP.
One of Alberta's secret is that we do have a windmill museum. Who'da thunk it? It is located at Etzikom, a tiny community in Southern Alberta. Blink, and you miss it. However, they do have a very nice display of old wind mills on their grounds, those that meant saving labour on the farm. On the webside we read "Located on the Red Coat Trail, is the Etzikom Museum and the Canadian National Historic Windmill Centre. The Centre features outdoor restored examples of windmills encompassing over 200 years of Canadian wind power (particularly water pumpers)."
The road towards the base of the windmills cuts across a narrow stretch of rice field, then through a low hill with small trees at both sides. While the huge structures in Bangui, Ilocos Norte may resemble gigantic electric fans, they are really wind mills meant to generate electricity to power our gadgets, including, well, electric fans.
Yes, that windmill really does have 8 sails - its the only one left in working order in the country.

Windmills in Marburg, Germany. The image was taken with a Fuju Finepix with full zoom from an adjecant hill. The picture was taken in automatic "landscape" mode and not enhanced or electronically altered in any way. See also the other picture, taken a little later with the EOS and the pictures of my dear Pipitdapo (I borrowed her Finepix for this one).
