Wind, as a source of energy, has been used for several thousand years. In olden days, windmills were primarily used to mill grains or pump water. While most such windmills have seen a rapid decline, its the wind turbines which are slowly foraying themselves into the world of clean renewable source of energy.


These windmills always give a sense of nostalgia and transport us into an era when life was much easier and one took pleasure in simple things of life.


Here we present to you 15 gorgeous windmills from around the world. Sit back and take a trip down the memory lane.
