Windmills on your mind

• 

What to do when your old Model T or Model A stops running? Well, scrap it of course! Only that doesn’t mean you can’t use the parts for other purposes. Engines were used to propel wood saws, from the chassis you could make a tractor and the back axle was ingeniously turned into a windmill (click pic for better view). Holland is well known for its bigger windmills (kinderdijk.nl) and they are treated with lots of respect, but what you see here is rapidly fading from the landscape. Maybe these windmills should also be considered a cultural heritage? Anyway, if you’re really interested, you should certainly subscribe to the Windmillers' Gazette. (photo Ruud de Pater).
