For the narrow gauge railway lovers. Have a tiny railway with the smallest turntable ever!

This is at a sawmill in Deurne, The Netherlands.

There's a rabbit available at a local pet shelter with a very unfortunate name for this time of year. 😅

At least, for the Dutch people. For the rest... Here's a Dutch Christmas song translated to English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnPZ32r_-fI

On the left, the remains of an old #windmill . Only a stone structure with a milling stone left.
On the right, remains of an 'American mill' which was likely used to pump water.

The person in this picture has a fear of heights but is slowly overcoming it.

It's me, I'm the person.

A few weeks ago another miller told me about an old #windmill game he played in the browser.

It was hosted on the website of a Dutch windmill, and I could see the page of it on the web archive, but the game was obviously no longer there.

I emailed the windmill, and asked if they had something. Today I received the files, and I just got them to run. It was an old Java applet, made by a father & son.

I'll wait for the okay to publish it, but it's wonderful to see some history and bring it back.

While visiting windmills during Open Monument Day in The Netherlands, I found a #windmill with something I hadn't seen before. An elevator for grain!

It's of course powered by the windmill, and it connects to a silo in the windmill which can hold a ton of grain.

At the top of the elevator, the miller could choose if the grain went into the silo or into the mill.

This weekend was Open Monument Day in The Netherlands. Yesterday I spend my day volunteering at my local #windmill and today I visited 5 windmills to check out how they work!

I found out the magic sentence that makes all the 'no access' signs disappear. It's "I'm in training to be a miller". Suddenly the mill will shut down and the miller will show you literally everything.
