Taken last year at Nieuw en St Joostland- Holland . But needed to answer :@blueberry1222 @sailingmusic@sangwann .
Windmills has/need to be used. If not , the fall into disrepair very quick and getting destructive soon. So most of the windmills has a volunteer, certificated, miller that use the windmill and work with/on it on regular times. Often the weekends. They turn the mill to the wind, set sails, if necessary, and do the job the mill is build for. Grinding wheat for example witch you can buy. They love visitors and have a talk. ( In our district) So if you see the sails turning around you can assume the miller is on board
I love this shot with the sheep included. Thanks, too, for the information regarding the windmills. I'm so glad that there are people who care about them and use them and keep them in good working order.
Beautiful, Love the composition. Great information about keeping the mills in good order, which I am pleased about. I hate to see history disappear if it can be preserved.
Nice to know that the lovely windmills, an icon of your country, are being operated and not stand still and deteriorate. love the sheep in this picture too. fav.
Fav. That would be very interesting to see it in action and talk to the miller and also have a look around the place. Another wonderful capture of an equally wonderful windmill.
