Somewhere in Belgium. [edit: the Steenakkermolen, just east of the Canadian memorial at Sint-Juliaan]
This one was actually working milling wheat, going round at 10-12rpm, despite the minimal sail area. It was swaying about quite a bit if you went up to the top. A pity the miller only spoke Flemish (or at least, not English).

I wonder what the speed limit is on that road? And if the road is straight?  :D

Nice windmill.  :thumbsup:

We rode near quite a few windmills at the weekend, but it was always in the dark, and I didn't see a single one :(

Are they so tall in order to get better exposure to the wind over the tops of the houses, or is there some other reason?
