Paris, France: Moulin de la Galette

Sometimes you get a little lucky while traveling in terms of discoveries. This windmill popped up during a walk in Montmartre section of Paris, and I took this photo from the best angle I could find.

I found out much later that this is a rather famous place. Moulin de la Galette dates back to 1622. It was a mill for a while, but the structure has severed a variety of purposes over the years.

The fun part if that some famous painters took time to put the image on canvas. Renoir's version might be the most acclaimed, but van Gogh and Pissarro did good work with it too.
