More about this scene
Here we see an old post windmill in its last stages of decay. It appears that the mill has been used as a source of firewood. Note the remains of the primitive common sails, and also the two old-style poultry coops in the foreground. A replacement post mill was moved to the site in 1936; it still exists, but is not open to visitors.
