I have seen windmills in Spain that have been tilted and others in Ireland, Africa and near my home in California. Some make power, the Spanish ones grind grain, but the one in the picture seems to just stand there and look pretty (like the ones on Montmartre or the Moulin Rouge in Paris). It is in the middle of Amsterdam and I assume was once used to pump water back over the dike. Needless to say, seeing Holland without seeing a windmill would be disappointing.
