My Seventy-Third Design: Gökçeada Windmill Flower

I created this design on 8 August 2021. Gökçeada is one of the two Turkish islands in Aegean sea and it's famous for its strong winds, and windmills accordingly.

While folding the photo tutorial, I realized that the direction matters. If you like to attach the units to each other, they should point the same direction.
