Geneva, Illinois. 2012. An authentic working, Dutch windmill used in the 1850's. In 1979, the windmill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It originally operated as a custom grinding mill.

Windmill 'De Korenaar', built in 1746 in Stad aan het Haringvliet, a village on the island of Goeree-Overflakkee in the Netherlands.

The windmill at Thaxted, Essex, known as John Webb's Mill, dates from 1804. From time to time the sails get damaged by strong winds, but are soon repaired by local enthusiasts.

Back in September I went on a photo trip with my Aunt. We drove around the scenic countryside of Chatsworth and area. I was on the hunt for some windmills

The gray skies made a perfect background for this shot today.

Do not use my photos for design etc!

my favourite place, so peaceful

This was taken near Edam, not too far north of Amsterdam. This windmill grinds ingredients for paint dyes.

 

It was wet and windy most of the day.

One of the iconic windmills in Kinderdijk, Netherlands

A really old feeling to this windmill we passed through sheep's country. One could easily imagine seeing a disgruntled knight in rust-spotted armor charging it

a lovely windmill that we wouldn't have seen but for a very long detour on our way to Gouda

Chesterton Windmill is a 17th-century cylindric stone tower windmill with an arched base, located outside the village of Chesterton, Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building and a striking landmark in South-East Warwickshire.

 

The windmill is one of Warwickshire's most famous landmarks. It stands on a hilltop overlooking the village of Chesterton for nearly 350 years. It is near the Roman Fosse Way and about five miles (8 km) south-east of Warwick. It was built around 1632-1633, probably by Sir Edward Peyto, who was Lord of the Chesterton Manor House. At this time John Stone, a pupil of Inigo Jones, was in Chesterton designing the new Manor House and he probably helped with the windmill as well. Sir Edward was a Mathematician and Astrologer and probably his own architect to the windmill, but although claims have been made that the tower was originally built as an observatory, the estate accounts now at Warwick Record Office show that it has always been a windmill, making it the earliest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts.

My escapades last weekend on the Mendips ended up here at about 7am. I took from all sorts of angles and will upload some color ones shortly. For now though I preferred this Black and White

A real Dutch windmill in Amsterdam! And like all traditional windmills this one is a brew pub.

421: The mill to the Broekgouw is octagonal windmill with a flight of 22 meters. The mill was by all odds set up in the 17th century. The fuselage and the cap are with sheer cover. In former days he drained the south polder.

 

421: De molen aan het Broekgouw is een achtkante binnenkruier met een vlucht van 22 meter. De molen werd naar alle waarschijnlijkheid in de 17e eeuw opgericht. De romp en de kap zijn met riet bedekt. Vroeger bemaalde hij de Zuidpolder.

Taken on 3rd January 2009. The weather was bitterly cold but the lighting was worth it!
