ooh that sky looks like rain. Great pov. Are the sails being renovated, or just gone??

@kartia The sails have gone. Until 1823 the windmill was used to pump sea water into salt pans which were then heated using local coal to produce salt. It took 8 tons of coal to produce 1 ton of salt!! In the 1790's salt was Scotland's third largest export after wool and fish!

The lighting, composition, and clouds are wonderful.

@billdavidson how fascinating, I’d never associated Scotland with salt production.
