Murphy Windmill

Murphy Windmill in Golden Gate Park

Google Pixel 6 Pro 7mm f1.9 1/2,500s ISO44

One of two windmills in the Golden Gate Park near Ocean Beach. This was the largest in the world when it was built in 1908, but it was obsolete five years later in 1913 and replaced by electric pumps. The windmills were installed to irrigate the park. The Murphy Windmill pumped 40,000 gallons a day.
