This is the 'Seismolen', which can be found in Middelburg, The Netherlands, at the 'Seisbolwerk' ('Bolwerk' is a kind of fortification). The mill was built in 1728 and was used to grind wheat. Nowadays the mill is only active from time to time in order to prevent damage, but is no longer in use for commercial purposes. This image was captured last Saturday (February, 9th) when the sails were turning. It's really a pity you can't see this turning and hear the mighty sound of the sails every time they are passing by. Hope you'll still enjoy this image.

Saw the title first and I thought it was a football score. lol Nice post and I didn't realize they called the blades sails. I looked at them more closely and I realize why. Your country and the sea are quite connected in harmony. Lovely post Cornelius.

Why, I don't know what you are talking about, Cornelius. I can see the sails turning, and they were so loud, I had to turn the sound down on the computer. Not only that, but I could even smell the grass. Must be this new virtual reality monitor I got. Or...it could be that your picture is so good, that I can imagine all that. Yeah...that's it. It's another super duper, fantastic shot by you. I love it.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
I do enjoy it very much my friend. How neat it would be to see one of these in person. Nice share Cornelius.

Hi Cornelius,
A remarkable capture, beautifully rendered colors, love them a lot,
Windmills are a rarity in Belgium, but not in the Netherlands, (~8, wonderful representation, 8~)
Nicely done,
Thanks for sharing
Warm regards
Tim

I once worked in one of these (For a few hours only!)...Grinding the wheat and barley for flour!!
Thanks for the memory!
