Description
Once upon a time there was a free man living in a free world. He was working with his free friend, the wind. Every morning, he was waiting for him, for its breaths, for its whispers, for its songs, for its stories. The wind was his vital energy, his present and his future, his whole life. His entire body was listening to every sign, feeling every shiver... His eyes were permanently looking at the sky, hoping for a smile in the clouds or for a wink of the sun which could announce the beginning of new times...But sometimes, nothing was happening, no breath, no lullaby, no voice in the air, just silence and emptiness all around. Then, when all the ordinary daily tasks were done, the man was sitting on the hill, his back against the warm wall of his mill, the eyes screwed towards the horizon, and he started to sing. His song was flying over the world, over the skies, inviting his friend to come and play with him.
The free wind was finally coming, sometimes quickly, sometimes later - the man had learned to be patient - and suddenly the wings of the mill were excited like birdies in the nest ready for their first flight...
And then the symphony began. Thousands laughing notes were spinning around and around all days long, millions golden melodies were illuminating the nights...
The man didnβt count, he worked during hours and hours, the wheat had a perfume of happiness and the flour a taste of gift.
Then, when the work was done, he felt asleep like a child, his soul sailing among the milky-way, flirting with the wind, just happy, because tomorrow new bread would be made.

I already liked windmills but your artist description has to be one of the finest interpretations of a windmill I've read and added a lot of emotion to the image. Great photo and words

Beautiful shot and a great description. I love the clouds. They are so mysterious, beautyfully contrasting with the stonework of the windmill.

Magnifique !

Why did you choose to put the windmill in the center? I don't think it's good for the composition. By moving it to the far right and giving more space in the left the photo would have a better sense of wind comming from the vastnes of the clounds to the windmill. just my two cents

beautiful, as always
the lighting on the side of the windmill really brings out the colour of the stone, and it looks stunning against those vivid blues in the sky.
a wonderful shot, and a beautiful description, as always

Your gift of words lift the viewer, carrying her straight into the heart of your artwork. Again, there is the feeling of being transported into the center of a dreamscene, deposited amongst the vivid colors and shadings, and left there contentedly to experience the sights, sounds and emotions you create, not only with your photography, but with your immense gift of prose.
Thank you again for allowing me to dream.

Whoo! Encore une fois, tu te surpasses. Ce ciel, mon dieu, comment arrives tu Γ avoir de si beaux ciels.
Très belle composition en tout cas.
ps: le ciel du cotΓ© gauche du moulin est un peu trop clair par rapport au reste...
