Nudity with windmills or watermills

[waterworkx]

I'm not expecting this to be a popular thread, but it's an experiment in pulling together all photos that happen to combine two subjects - nudity, and windmills or watermills.

Many of the items may have appeared already in another thread, but that's not a problem here. However, I don't want it just to be a collection of photos - I want as much context about each photo to be given as well, identifying where it was taken if at all possible, so most posts will have but a single image along with the context text.

I'm prepared to be flexible in the definition of a windmill - whilst ideally it would be the romantic wooden structures of past centuries, I'll allow metal windpumps and wind turbines to also make an appearance!

Starting with a vintage view, this is a French studio photo. The painted backdrop shows a French windmill, though it's hard to know if this was a true to life scene, or just one the artist painting the backdrop created in his imagination.

A series of photos here, from a photoshoot at the museum of Wooden Architecture in Suzdal, Russia.

The museum has a couple of windmills on the site, but only one gets to be seen in these photos.

Whilst it's clear that this windpump is at High Lonesome Ranch, there are plenty of places with that name, and I've not been able to narrow down which one this is.

Clearly not a working windpump - just a garden ornament, with no real clues as to its location.

Looks to be a real workable wind pump, presumably used to irrigate the market garden our subjects are working on.

One shot from the Lytham Hockey Club naked calendar for 2016, where the photoshoot took place in the early morning of 17th Oct 2015. The calendar included the colour shot - the black and white christmas card was an extra.

This was the 2017 (4th) Positively Gilttered event, shot in early November in the Queensland outback by Jill Kerswill, to celebrate body confidence.

A magnificent wind pump features in a number of the shots.

OK, so this is only a linocut, but it fits the thread subject!

The photographer here is Sofi Mdivnishvili, from Tbilisi (Georgia), so although the photos carry no location, I would assume they are taken in Georgia.
