  "This 'polo' is all that remains of Easington's Windmill which ceased to operate in the 1920s and was demolished in the 1960s. The windmill originally stood at the site now occupied by the Langeled gas terminal." – Ray Duffill, Hedon Blog

  Thanks for the info Ray. Such a shame that so many windmills have been demolished.

Wind power and visitors.

  There's what looks like a reverse view with what was identified as Ben Bulben in the background.

• John Spooner said:

  A very pleasing 3-D image with lots of depth when viewed using a suitable viewer (except for the 2 hairs which appear to be floating in mid air).

• Sharon Corbet said:

  O Mac That link is to the map of Albert College. (Geohive is a bit weird - you have to save the map to the user gallery and use the link that is produced.)

What colors would you add to this windmill? (LOC)

  Great idea--the coloring--and fabulous to see the inner construction of the historic mill. Thanks for bringing the HABS collections to new audiences. This mill has v. interesting unique features!

• calm respect said:

  I'd have to think--- but is that a rare Whale weather vane on top of it ?? My eye went to that immediately .

• calm respect said:

  because of the whale, it would have to be the Northeastern part of the country. I thought New England but I see its Long Island -water- in which the whale theme makes sense. Beautiful image.

• calm respect said:

  You didn't mention that vane but as for identifying the locale that is a real clue ... Whales are uniquely rare and the image always id's water surroundings American history wise. (Do I get credit for mentioning that :^)! Marianne Kuzmen--

  please post more !
