This is a mill in Pella, Iowa. This is just the very top, they have turned it into a museum which you can tour. Pella is a little Dutch town and in the Spring they have a Tulip Festival which brings thousands to the area.

Carol...I envy you and all of the wonderful places you visit and photograph in Iowa. This is a fantastic image. I like the dark vignetting although I have my typical comment about lopping off parts of trees and buildings. I wish you could have taken a few steps back and caught the entire fan of the windmill. Other than that, this is terrific.

Dorothy Michaels: No, just Dorothy. Alan's always Alan, Tom's always Tom and John's always John. I have a name too. It's Dorothy, capital D-O-R-O-T-H-Y.
Carol, did you buy and bring some Dutch Letters to share with us? (Dutch Letters are a filled pastry that they make in Pella. And they are yummy!)
Nice shot of the nearly backlit windmill!

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Bob is right with his above comment (☺):
Like almost Dutch traditional windmills, this one has a name too: 'Vermeer' (called after the famous Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. Built in 2002 however in Pella, Iowa, USA, by de Dutch mill constructor Verbij. It's a replica of a 1850-style Dutch 'stellingmolen' (windmill built on a brick foundation with a kind of octagonal balcony on which the mill can be controlled). The mill is fully functioning: the 'Vermeer' mill grinds wheat into flour using only wind power and is the tallest working windmill in the United States. Its height is 41 meters (134.51 feet)
Wonderful capture, Carol!
