Windmill on Paros, an island of the Cyclades group and typical of windmills in this region. Owing to strongly directional prevailing winds these are not rotated. They were rigged with triangular sails for operation, grinding grain brought from mainland Greece in exchange for a 1/10 share of the flour.
