Windmill… Rusty… Motionless… Art…

A tower-less windmill graces a modern aluminum barn on a small farmstead near Spokane Valley, WA, it was produced by Flint and Walling Mfg. Co., in Kendallville, IN. Out of sheer curiosity, I googled ‘Flint and Walling Mfg. Co.’ and was surprised to find they are still in business, still in Kendallville, IN and still manufacturing a variety of pumps after 155 years! Their website states they employ 150 people, some of whom are third and fourth generation workers. They must be doing something right in this throw away age of people and things.

I love these old windmills, anytime I spot one someplace, I cannot resist getting a couple shots for an album full of them. Used as barn art, I must admit this one is the most unusual I’ve ever seen, and I like it! Thinking again about our throw away society, I’m pleased this beautiful windmill fan wasn’t thrown in a scrap heap and hauled to the dump years ago.
