That is really interesting, clever making them to rotate

Visited that island in 2010, a beautiful island, but be aware of the snakes at one end of the island. The wooden church was an awesome engineering feat.

Rhett, excellent image. Also appreciate the education.
On an aside, although I was born in Ohio I grew up in South Florida and as a result also consider myself a Floridian. Family and friends still live there.

Very unusual windmill. Nice shot! Goes to show how much I know about windmills, I thought they all rotated! LOL Grandpaw

Thanks for commenting on the photo.
Being a "Floridian" is not only a location, it's also a frame of mind. You probably already know that. :-)

When I say "rotate", I mean the whole windmill can be rotated to face the prevailing winds.
