I like that not usual angle to shoot a mill. very nice colors and calm in that photo!! Mills give so much harmony to a landscape!

Thanks, Soph! I agree, but at the same time I learned that our brain cells are maybe too adjusted to what is "harmony" and "usual" (cf. e.g. the modern wind mills - see previous picture), I wonder what our ancestors must have thought when the traditional mills were invented and saw them for the first time!

I think this type of windmill is called a "Bockmühle" in German. Very nice photo!
Erik, you'll find my answer to your letter in your mailbox!

Maybe I should say "rythm" and not "harmony" so. Or serenity... I replied to your comment in my gallery.. bedank voor het franstaal (hum not correct, i'm sure)

@Soph: Soph, il ne vous faut rien! S.v.p. mes remarques ne sont pas de critique à ce que vous avez dit! Merci bien, vous aussi, pour le Néerlandais, ou Flamand si vous voulez, mais en effet, ca me semble plus le Sud-Africain :) Je suis sûr que mon Francais contient des fautes, moi aussi, mais je le veux essayer parce que parfois je trouve la priorité pour l'Anglais un peu ennuyante, et aussi, je suis fier de pouvoir écrire un peu cette belle langue! (Excusez-moi, mes amis Flamands).
