Windmills from Scania

It’s not a secret that I like windmills, so I decided to repost some of my photos , digitally altered this time. All of them located in the southernost part of Sweden; in my home region of Skåne (Scania).

More windmills revisited

Inspired by my photo yesterday I decided to revisit two more windmills today; Kyrkoköpinge Mölla and Södra Åby Mölla. – I was unable to mimic the shooting position in the latter case as it would’ve ment me standing waist-high in snow .

Old Norse Runestones and more Windmills

Today I made a local mini-expedition – aiming to get a few photos for this blog. Here are the results:

I read today that there are about 150 remaining Windmills in Scania , here are two of them; (in addition to the three I shot a while ago).

Stubbamöllan (d. 1682) , Södra Åby, Skåne

 

Skivarps Mölla (d. 1850), Skåne

Also I paid a visit to Tullstorp , where this 11th century runestone is located, the inscription reads: “Kleppir/Glippir ok Ása reistu kuml þessi eptir Ulf” (Kleppir/Glippir and Ása raised this monument in memory of Ulfr.)
