Windmill between the meadows
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Check out this beautiful drone video of a famous Dutch windmill, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot droneflybennie. The Spengense Mill is what's known as a seesaw-type windmill, which is a design for polder mills (windmills specifically designed to move water uphill) that dates to the 15th century. In seesaw mills, the upper housing rotates around a tube held in place by a pyramid-shaped base. Built in the 1840's, the Spengense Mill is located near the town of Kockengen in the central province of Utrecht.
