Eric, this is a fine example of how one can take an ubquitous object of Europe and make a poetic anthology of pictures. You have certainly travelled around to capture many avatars of the windmill limited only by the craftsman capabilities. I enjoyed the album replete with splendid photographs. Best wishes, Suresh

The Bircham windmill is clearly visible on the satellite photo from Google Maps.

Eric, What an interesting, entertaining, and informative album. It has taken me into an unexpected journey this morning. I lived in Bicester in the Cotswalds 1978-1980 and do not recall seeing any such windmills. I guess my eyes were full of manor houses, castles, and ancient stones. We lived very near Chesterton, but do not recall seeing the Chesterton windmill that you picture. Are you aware of Google Maps? The photography of the UK has been remarkably improved and I have been searching the satellite photography to find the Chesterton windmill. So far it escapes me. Thanks for a very remarkable album of windmills. Gary Ramthun Thornton (north Denver Colorado)

Very interesting Eric there are so many variations on the basic design.

said graemeamurray 2007.12.09 at 13:20:50 PST

Hi Eric! I see what you mean with the mills in the UK being differnt from the ones here in The Netherlands. On the other hand, the ones in Holton and Sutton look to be of the typical architecture :-) . Anyhow, thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments on my albums. ~Sven

Hi Eric, great collection of photos of these magnificent machines they are a great passion of mine. I have spent many hours visiting and researching the history of the British windmill. In fact they played a significant part in my research and thesis for my degree 4 years ago. Any way thanks for sharing this fantastic work, Paul.

Greetings from Western Michigan Eric. This album is beautiful - such a variety of interesting mills and wind machines. I live very close to a working windmill called De Zwaan, brought over from the Neytherlands. I especially like your photo of the Cley Windmill at sunset - just gorgeous! - Best regards, DeeAnne :)

Hi Eric, i was going to say that i had been to a windmill that you haven't got here but you beat me to it & found out for yourself!LOL Really enjoyed Wicken & will certainly return on another sunny day. The Fens on a gloomy day hold no appeal for me! :0)Off to look at some of your recent albums now. Angela

Hi Eric, This is a beautiful album. It is interesting and I loved viewing it. Thanks for checking out my barn album. I love going on the country roads around here and finding these old barns. Jane

Hi Eric, I've really enjoyed your photos of windmills. I particularly like #22 - very interesting. My town in Illinois used to be one of the major windmill manufacturing centers in the US, and there are still a few around town. We have a small one in our backyard. A belated thank you for your kind comments on our featured album of scenic shores. We have been away for a few weeks and were pleased to come home to so many nice messages. Greetings from Chicago, Marisa

Great water and wind scenery. Nice collection.

Eric; I like viewing your windmills and I'm smiling and thinking: this could be in Holland ! Thanks also for your comment on the stone sculptures of Zimbabwe and ...maybe...when I've time I photograph more trees; especially for you:-)) Best wishes again, Els

said ejooren 2006.05.21 at 04:18:26 PDT

Hi. Nice pictures. Windmills (and their cousins) have always intrigued me. I guess maybe it is because I only seen them in pictures. Wonderful job, thanks for sharing. Don

I think windmills look great, haven't taken any photo's of any myself so really enjoyed these. Great pictures, all the best, Pete.

Thanks for signing my guestbook. I enjoyed your windmills. Actually, I believe the one in my album was originally in England but transported to the living history museum at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. otherwise, we don't see many around here. Keith from Michigan

said keithjulius 2006.04.09 at 07:02:28 PDT

Now Eric, this was amazing to me - so many beautiful windmills in Great Britain? I'll be darned...Thanks for being such a good sport and your kind words, and having such a great sense of humour (great minds think alike..???..happy to know at least one of us has a great mind, ha,ha...). Hey, what does this LOL mean that everybody is using???? Have a fantastic weekend, and I'll have to cruise some more of your albums soon! Take care, Marita, Houston, Texas

Hi Eric, I love these new pics of yours, Great Stuff. well done mate! Loved the windmil pic added to my favs. Many thanks for the kind comments in mine and Babs G/B you been a great help to us in this new hobby of ours, thank you.

said flotex21 2006.03.08 at 13:17:50 PST

Hi Eric, Thank you so much for your kind comments on my featured album. I do like the silhouette picture you have at the first of this album, maybe because it is a litte different that the rest of the pictures. You have a fine album here, it would be interesting to see how the inside of the windmills look that have been converted to living areas. Cynthia

said cayowza 2006.03.07 at 11:24:10 PST

Dear Eric - thank you very much for your kind words in the GB of my featured album. AND - I APPRECIATE YOUR PICTURES A LOT! I like Windmills , too...as you've also noticed in my "joy" album - the Windmill the picture I took in Aarup was the only one of the kind I saw during my 5 years long staying in Denmark - have a wonderful week - Tami:o) in Norway PS.(and I will come back to see other of your wonderful albums again soon!) :o)

said tamihania 2006.02.27 at 09:16:03 PST

Hi Eric, thanks for your nice message nearly 3 weeks ago. You are very kind. I am waiting for your new tree albums. But meanwhile I found this new edited album. How many Windmills in old UK!!!! But maybe it is just wrong to relate windmills to Holland and neighbors! Even here in Israel we have a windmill, a very famous one in our history. So famous that it is even printed on our money. Some month ago, when I was in Jerusalem, I got up very early to take pictures of it, but I went into the wrong direction. :-) Have a nice weekend up there in the cold corner! - Galit from Israel

Hi Eric! Thanks for the comments in my GB for "Only Roses". They thrive fairly well in very large pots if they are fed obscene amounts of fertilizer, & even then they are prone to blackspot & mildew. But I keep trying.My soil is extensive clay...which is why I keep on with the pots! I do like this album,& find it most interesting.We don't think of Britain as a place for windmills: I don't know why!Good views of a difficult subject, I think. All the best...Nancy.

said greyhairs1 2006.01.15 at 20:00:22 PST

Hi Eric! Great to hear from you again and I see you are well into your second Site too. This is such an interesting collection of Windmills and I am pleased you have documented them as they are now becoming so rare. That first shot is certainly very effective, well done! Pleased you enjoyed my Goldfields Safari (2 more albums to come), but sorry you have not managed that elusive trip to Australia yet... Best wishes.. Gladys, Western Australia.

said gladysclancy2 2006.01.15 at 04:35:38 PST

Hi Eric, thanks for the Gb, surprised you did not have some photo's of Blickling,these mills are wonderful I have a collection of them waiting to go some where, but as usual somebody beats me to it, but who cares as long as it is a friend eh!. nice to see them forest albums doing well it just shows how important it is to place them right. take care and yes spring is just around the corner our snow is on its way now rain all afternoon. slush everywhere, Happy New Year and we must meet for that drink in the new year Ken

Hi Eric, thanks for visiting my album Denver. Yes I stayed at the s/accommodation next to the mill and had a great time. I love Norfolk, it has so much to offer. I will be back to have a look at your other albums soon. Best wishes for 2006. :) Anne in UK

said _anne179 2005.12.28 at 06:19:27 PST

Eric, thanks for your kind words on my featured album. I have lighthouses, you have windmills. This was an enjoyable album to view, maybe some day we can swap locations and I can film those too. Garry

Hello Eric, I have just returned from Cyprus, and found all these new albums of yours, you obviously have sorted your credit card problem out, would you believe I have been collecting windmils for an album to come, but good luck to you for beating me to it. Great selection and a wonderful subject, I have found just travelling to them and getting a picture is half the fun. Thanks for your comments on my Nelson theme, it is a wonder that you have not done one it was his birthday yesterday 29th Sept. an old seadog like you I am sure would have known, I will catch up with all your albums in the near future so in the meantime take care Ken

said hircock100 2005.09.30 at 09:27:49 PDT

Hi Eric. I am so happy to be the first to sign your guestbook. That's some collection you have of 'Windmills, Watermills & Wundpumps'. I thought you'd been on holiday to Holland. Didn't realize we had so many. The one that caught my eye was the 'Chesterton Windmill'. That looks pretty unique to me. Glad to hear you're sorted at last and have now been upgraded. Do you have to pay two annual subscriptions now you have a second site. Hope you are well. Best wishes, Jayne xx
