Magnificent sunset at chesterton windmill last night, me and Sam got there just in time, like the vapor trails in this shot, like brush stokes in the sky! Very poetic :-)

It's taken me 3 visits, but yesterday evening I finally got a photo here I feel is worth posting! This was taken around 20 minutes after sunset, when the beautiful oranges and pinks of dusk were sitting behind the windmill. The lights being switched on was a bonus, though I do wish they would either light up it all, or none.
I was lucky to get this composition, there was a big pile of dried up manure, around 13ft high which I clambered up in order to shoot over the bushes. The things we do for the shot eh?

This windmill is one of Warwickshire's most famous landmarks, standing on a hilltop overlooking the village of Chesterton for nearly 350 years, near the Roman Fosse Way and about five miles (8 km) south-east of Warwick. It was built in 1632-1633, probably by Sir Edward Peyto, who was Lord of the Chesterton Manor House. At this time John Stone, a pupil of Inigo Jones, was in Chesterton, designing the new Manor House, and he probably helped with the Windmill as well. Sir Edward was a mathematician and astrologer and probably his own architect to the windmill, but although claims have been made that the tower was originally built as an observatory, the estate accounts now at Warwick Record Office show that it has always been a windmill,[2] making it the earliest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts.

The present windmill on Brill Common in Buckinghamshire, was probably erected sometime in the 1680s. Although not quite the oldest windmill in England, it is one of the best preserved of the dozen or so 17th century post-mills still standing. A post-mill is a mill in which the whole structure revolves around a central post in order to face the wind.

Just got back from a trip to Rotterdam. Made a day trip to Kinderdijk to see the Windmills. This particular one appeared to be a private residence. via 500px ift.tt/2LJ45pz
Kinderdijk windmills: unique & iconic water management
A significant part of Holland is situated up to approximately 7 meters below sea level. The Dutch don’t notice any of this though, because an incredibly innovative and intricate system keeps the ever-rising seawater from flooding the land. Even during spring tide, the Dutch are safely guarded from being washed away.
The most important aspect of UNESCO World Heritage Kinderdijk is undoubtedly the unique collection of 19 authentic windmills, which are considered a Dutch icon.
Podersdorf is a market town which lies on the banks of the lake Neusiedl, Burgenland, Austria. The monument protected windmill is about 160 years old.

Taken from signage at the site: La Mancha, the windmills and Don Quijote's shadow have become, over the course of time, profoundly linked. Consuegra's Windmills, together with the Castle, make the unmistakable Cerro Calderico silhouette declared Property of Cultural Interest, which was categorized as historical site n 2008.
Twelve of the thirteen windmills, at first located at beginnings of the twentieth century are preserved on the hill. It should be noted that five of these completely maintain their mechanism and are in working conditions. Among them, the one named Sancho stands out with a quiet ancient typology. As for the resting four Rucio also preserves its grinding system in good condition and regarding Espartero, Mochilas and Bolero also keep their original pieces intact.

Cley windmill іs а five storey tower mill wіth а stage аt second floor level, twenty feet above ground. Іt has а dome shaped cap wіth а gallery whіch wаs winded by аn eight-bladed fantail, ten feet six inches іn diameter. The cap іs nоw fixed аnd unable tо turn tо wind. There аre four double Patent sails wіth а span оf 70 ft, carried оn stocks 56ft long. The inner pair hаve eight bays оf three shutters аnd the outer pair hаve nine bays оf twо shutters аnd оne оf three shutters. Іn 1819 the sails powered twо pairs оf French burr millstones, а flour mill аnd jumper but by 1876 thіs hаd been increased tо 3 pairs оf stones аnd а smut machine hаd been added.
Cley windmill wаs built іn the early 19th century. Іt wаs nоt marked оn William Faden’s map оf Norfolk published іn 1797. The fіrst mention wаs аn advert іn the Norfolk Chronicle оf 26 June 1819, where the mill wаs fоr sale, described аs “newly erected” аnd іn the ownership оf the Farthing family. The mill wаs nоt sold аnd remained the property оf the Farthing family, until 1875, when Dorothy Farthing, the then owner, died. The mill wаs bought by the miller, Stephen Barnabas Burroughes. Іt wаs worked by the Burroughes family until c1912, when the business wаs transferred tо theіr windmill аt Holt.

I wasn't happy with the rather bland sky in the original of this shot so I've added some texture layers then gone for a timeless look in the processing
