...rumkullern - 2011

But moving in the sunshine was very pleasantly!

Фотографии без велосипеда скучны!  :o)

Thanks!  :-)

I shot the photo yesterday morning before it started to be snowing!

But in the valleys some houses stood in the melt water!

Here in the Weserbergland modern windmills stand on almost every hill!

Most villages are not on the hills but in the valleys :-)

It is the ruin of a historical windmill.

Now the ruin serves as a look-out-tower for walkers.

Der Tag war sonnig aber cooooool :-D

The windmill in Tündern is a Dutch type ground-sailers. That means, that the sails rotor with a diameter of 25 m reaches almost down to the ground. The mill was built in 1883 at the bank of the river Weser. The mill has a specific feature: the cap of the mill is turnable. With the cap, the mill is able to turn around to face the wind direction. This is an essential requirement for windmills to operate economically in the Weserbergland where wind directions are variable. The eight-winged fan drive, that you see on the photo. delivers the energy to turn automatically the 15 t heavy cap.

Yes, it is!

I had never seen rose hips thus before.
