Sometime wide wings of windmills decorated and dominated the landscape. Standing away from the settlements, they looked lonely but powerful, welcoming the wind with all their might. Windmills are not only architectural but also technical monuments. Once there were about 1,000 windmills in Lithuania. As technology changes, the era of windmills ends and they begin to decline and nature’s forces taking on them rapidly. Only a few over 100 windmills have survived up to today and only a few of which are in a good enough condition. In 2019 - 2021 I completed photogrammetry scans of each and every still standing windmill of my country. Since final countdown for most of them already started long time ago at least in this way we may make time to freeze for them.
