tilting at windmills....HFF

A sort of fence runs up the steps of this beautifully restored windmill in Guatiza, Lanzarote.

The mill was used to crush maize, among other things, to create 'gofio' (gofio mousse is a traditional and delicious Lanzarote dessert). It's amazing to think of the ingenuity and knowledge which led to the design of windmills - such large and complex structures 'just' to crush grains, but saving back-breaking work in the process.

I can't work out if Rabbit is holding his paw up in amazement, or having a private little giggle to himself....

HFF to all our ipernity friends!
