A beautiful structure and captured nicely with that pretty blue sky and clouds. The bricks in this windmill are very pretty, Mr. C. A great shot.

That mill looks very impressive against the blue sky and your capture has done it full justice.

If structure could be classed as 'proud'..then this mill would be one!..

Excellent point of view and composition!

Cornelius - Seeing the workers standing on the base gives perspective to the size of the mill, reminding us of the challenges to built such a structure in an era that did not have large construction equipment as we have today. I like that beautiful sky as the background in this well composed image.
