I am sure I have heard or have read a book on this 'mill'...I remember the name!
It must be huge looking at the size of that car beside it!..

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Really like the angle of this - such a unique plus beautiful place to live - I absolutely love windmills and this one is gorgeous

Terrific view of this windmill, you can tell Spring is about to happen the way it is greening up all around.

Your title had me wondering if I was going to actually see a cow and a windmill together, lol...a delightful little windmill surrounded by the pleasing greenery...there is a happy feel about this scene...nice one, SEA.

What a great vantage point you had for this shot Mr. C. and a nice swath of spring green to set off the windmill.

I didn't think there was a hill this high in your part of the world to use to get a shot like this SEA. Beautiful angle and composition.

The bird flew over the cow :) The sunlit beautiful "cow" looks very nice in the green surroundings. A very nice shot Cornelius.

Referring to Tick's comment above, the surrounding area of 'The Cow' is as flat as a silver dollar, ☺ .

Utilizing that device on the far right of that "balcony", that looks like a long-limbed sprocket, is this something used to swivel the top section of the mill and its blade assembly?

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

That's right, 'Nik'. Taking into account that 'The Cow' was built in 1736 (reconstructed in 1909), at that time there were no possibilities to automatically turn the blades into the proper wind direction. This done by hand by using the by you already mentioned 'steering wheel'.
