Wind Mill

Windmill

What is recorded here

One chamber stands in County Mayo, built to catch the endless Atlantic wind and force it into human use. The mill still belongs to the region, even when its history fades from memory. Its stones and shape record a time when people measured strength against the sky and answered with iron, rope and patience.
