Windmill, Montmarte, Paris July 16
Windmills were once rather common in Montmartre.
By the way, "Montmartre" translates as the "Hill of the Martyr"; it's in reference to Saint Denys who was a "missionary to Paris. First Bishop of Paris. His success roused the ire of local pagans, and he was imprisoned by Roman governor. Martyred in the persecutions of Valerius with Saint Rusticus and Saint Eleutherius. Legends have grown up around his torture and death including one that has his body carrying his severed head some distance from his execution site" (http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saintd03.htm).
