July 1, 2014 in Eastham, Cape Cod. Massachusetts

According to Wikipedia, "The Eastham Windmill, located in Eastham, Massachusetts, is the oldest windmill on Cape Cod. It was constructed by Eastham resident Thomas Paine in Plymouth in 1680. It was first moved to nearby Truro in 1770, then finally to Eastham in 1793. In 1808 the windmill was moved to its present location, near the Eastham Town Hall and the Eastham Public Library. Eastham Windmill, as part of the Eastham Center Historic District, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999."

On the way to First Encounter Beach to take sunset shots we turned left onto this road and there was the windmill.

Interesting subject. I like the composition, but think it needs to be a bit brighter. Might want to take out the power lines on the left side. Thanks for sharing.
