Exceptions prove the rule: traditional Dutch windmills have usually a name, but not this traditional windmill from the village Aagtekerke, Zeeland, The Netherlands.
The mill was built in 1801 to replace its predecessor, which was destroyed during a heavy storm.
The mill still grinds. In the wintertime not for grinding wheat however, but as a kind of maintenance function, because downtime means decline.
Even on this static picture, one can see it grinding, because the sails are attached on the blades.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Well old mate...that's the name you should call this wonderful piece of history!..

Still turning after more than 200 years! Very nice shot of this old mill Cornelius. It looks great against the blue sky.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
A lovely perspective on this old windmill, Cornelius. The rich blue sky makes a perfect background. Well done.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
I learn something every day SEA. I did not know that about the sails.
I can almost hear the blades squeaking and turning.
Excellent work.

I too learned something today Mr. C. - a nice angle for this shot to let us clearly see the sails.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
These windmills add to the beauty of your country's landscape and you photograph them so well , Great photo Cornelius.

Lovely image Cornelius. As I've said before we think that there's a windmill like this on every corner in the Netherlands.

"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." Miles Kington. So I'm sure you'll have both knowledge and wisdom enough to go over and see My Gallery.
Magnificent angle and capture, fabulous looking windmill and of course I love it. It's marvelous that they still keep this one going, I can almost here the noise of the turning blades - right into my favs
