Description
Loved the optical illusion of the windmill appearing to be on the road. I naturally had to stop for this photo opportunity. Although with the new green technology for using wind for energy is growing, these older windmills that were used primarily for pumping water and in some cases grinding grist, are not used for those purposes any more. The whole design is different. The poles are higher, the vanes are longer and there is usually only 3 to a mill. Much more sleek and modern looking than these old fashioned ones. These types are still made but I'm not sure that they are as much in demand. It is definitely something worth reading up on.
