The windmill of Zuidzande

We do have still about 1048 windmills in our country.
Every time I met one I cant resist to take pic`s of it and make a collage out of them. This one I`ve met yesterday in Zuidzande, a very little place I never have been before.
The story of this windmill goes back till 1874. and did have a commercial use till 1999.

Lovely collage. Does the painted design on the wind blades mean anything. I know that the blades have a name, but I don't remember it.

Love your windmill collage.

[Margaret Tryon]

I love windmills, and this is quite a bonus with all of them

[mervyn hobbs]

Really beautiful.

A real beauty, Pyrrhula. I love those wind mills. We still have 2 old wind mills, similar to those which are still standing and in working condition. They are protected and are tourist attractions

[Rachel Mackenzie]

Wonderful collage. The windmill's sure are amazing.

What a lovely collage, especially the shot top left showing the windmill dwarfing the house. I'm feeling a bit silly asking if there is any significance in the red, green and white. Not so many windmills in our area but more in Suffolk where I was born and brought up.

Great windmill collage! - we have an old mill here which was recently restored ( http://365project.org/if1/365/2012-07-29) I think they are very impressive structures!

[Pyrrhula]

@if1 A lot of different to see between you and our windmill. All our windmills have 4 vane`s
@quietpurplehaze . I don`t know that. I guest the first owner liked it.

[Pyrrhula]

@daisy No, the owner decide it. I never heard of it the blades have names , only the position of the sails when not turning gives a message

[Colleen]

[Janelle]

So neat to see there real size compared to the small looking house which I know it's not. are you trying to get 1048 collages of windmills?

[Henriette Sparkes]

Als ik die foto lings boven bekijk...mis ik Nederland een beetje :-) Beautiful collage of the windmill!

[bruni]

@bruni Pyrrhula I was joking when I said are you trying to get all of them..I now that there are way too many.
thanks for all your comments. have a nice Sunday and a great week to come.

Wow1048! I would much rather look at these sprinkled across the land instead of the modern ones. Much more aesthetic!
