Abandoned Vertical Axis Windmill In The Magdalen Islands

This vertical axis windmill is located in a very windy place. However it is no longer used to unknown reasons. This type of windmill is also known as a Darrieus wind turbine. A picture of this very wind turbine is featured on the Wikipaedia page for Darrieus wind turbines The Magdalen Islands are a chain of islands in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence about 100 km north of Prince Edward Island. The islands form a chain over 70 km long, and have 300 km of beaches. A great place for a different vacation and a different kind of urban exploration. Part of the Wrecking Crew Summer Safari 2016.
