What says “calm” better than a windmill standing still? ;)
From Jarina in the Netherlands, February 2018
Molen de Dellen, Nieuw-Scheemda, Groningen, NL
Looking it up in Wikipedia, I think I manage to deduce from the Dutch text that this mill (built in 1855) was a “polder mill” used for regulation of the water levels.

I love this one! I find these very romantic. Do you have many in Boras or nearby?
I hadn't thought of that... you're absolutely right. I love the postcard, I love windmills in general.
Very pretty and very restful.
I have only seen wind mills like this in photos and movies. it really is a beautiful sight
You are somright, I never thought of it, but really a windmill standing still is a very "still" picture.
It is indeed still & serene! Thank you for sharing!
I can't recall any windmills close to Borås - I think there were more water mills in this area (with water wheels). There are old windmills in other areas in southern Sweden, though. Which reminds me that I still have photos from the trip that my brother and I made back in 2015, that I never got round to blogging about... Including at least one windmill. I'll see if I can find it.
Yes, the old ones are often very picturesque, aren't they?
Thanks for thinking of inspiring themes, Maria :)
Is that gorgeous, or what?! I love it, Dawn. Happy Sunday to you- xo Diana
