Probably the only 6-vaned windmill north of the Alps. How about Ã…land Island? Although it look more like a lake, than a seashore.

Is there anything contained in the picture that would identify the location, or do we need to search every building in the entirety of Sweden until we find exactly the right one? Is this your own picture, or does it exist online?

^^^^ Yes, please explain. Same for checking /sweden harbor/, /sweden tile roof/, etc. What made it "definitely Sweden"?

That only makes it "simple" after you have found the clue that it is in Sweden, and then "guessed" which (of dozens) of photo files actually had such a picture.

Actually, this photo site is the first result in google for the term "windmill sweden".

First I thought it might be Netherlands, for example Ijselmeer.
