Orient XI Posted June 13, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 13, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Most windmills need to turn their sails to get the best from the wind, and to follow it as it veers whilst they are grinding cereals. The small vanes (rather like the tail rotor of a helicopter) do this job for Thaxted windmill in Essex. Taken with a 90mm Summarit on an M9. Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted June 13, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 13, 2013 A very nice shot with excellent composition, colors and sharpness. Again, an excellent narrative. I don't recall seeing anything like that before. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orient XI Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted June 14, 2013 Thanks everybody for your kind words, I'm pleased the subject was of interest. To literally provide the full picture I append a photograph of the windmill. As you can see from the original photo as the vanes turn gearing transmits the motion to a toothed, stationary wheel below the windmill's roof (strictly the cap). This toothed wheel runs round the entire circumference of the structure. The axle of the sail is fixed to the cap and turns with it. Welcome, dear visitor!
