Broad verges backed by banks,
Of mature Oak and Beech,
Race down Warwickshire,
Through the verdure of the country,
Stratford upon Avon and Shakespear,
The breathtaking castles of Kenilworth and Warwick,
Or and hour, quiet and peaceful, at the Bancroft Basin,
Live forever as the Chesterton Windmill turns the time.

Had a few days staying between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, weather was kind to us :-)
I didn't take a lot of photo's so I won't be posting many at a time... Under pressure from one of my contacts I went out after tea and visited this old windmill which wasn't too far away.. the sun wasn't quite setting but shooting into it's direction gave an interesting effect. I found it hard to get a shot with a reflection in, the mill being no longer used meant most of the water near it was overgrown with reeds.
By making this picture with a very low POV, it seemed like that the windmill tried to reach out for the sky.
Today I traveled with a good friend of mine to enjoy the swedish landscape, sun and food ! After short discusion we decided to visit Lacko Castle. Almost 2,5 hours driving from the norwegian borders. We did off course use longer time because of many nice motives in our way. This is one of them. Have a nice day friends !

I had visions of me taking a super shot of this windmill that is over 100miles from my home (in the area for another reason!!) - with clouds and sunlight making a spectacular image!! haha - grey, grey day!! I tried to make the best of it with my limited knowledge of slow exposures
Chesteron Windmill
Chesterton Windmill is a 17th-century cylindric stone tower windmill with an arched base, located outside the village of Chesterton, Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building[1] and a striking landmark in south-east Warwickshire.
The windmill is one of Warwickshire's most famous landmarks. It stands on a hilltop overlooking the village of Chesterton, near the Roman Fosse Way and about five miles (8 km) south-east of Warwick. It was built around 1632-1633, probably by Sir Edward Peyto, who was Lord of the Chesterton Manor House.
It is built of hard local limestone, with sandstone detailing, on a shallow platform of 71 feet 9 inches (21.87 m) in diameter. The mill tower with a cap height of 36 feet (11 m), unique worldwide in structure and mechanics, is supported on six semicircular arches, on piers, the outer faces of which are arcs of circles radiating from a common centre.

This Wirral landmark is set against a lovely blue sky and someone's sheep dog has photo bombed the shot. There's the history of this rather well preserved windmill on the Friends of Bidston Hill website via this link:- www.bidstonhill.org.uk/heritage/trail05/

Everyone's favourite Windmill at Chesterton in Warwickshire. Probably built by Sir Edward Peyto in around 1632. John Stone, a pupil of Inigo Jones, was in Chesterton around this time and probably helped build it. It was thought that this was built as an observatory but local records prove that it has always been used as a windmill.
Over Windmill in Cambridgeshire.The building was derelict in 1950. It was purchased in 1960 for £100 by Graham Chris Wilson, who fitted a pair of patent sails and a pair of stones from the derelict mill at Upwell, enabling the mill to work again in October 1969. It has been restored since and is worked by its owner, who also rebuilt the cap, the brake-wheel and most of the internal timberwork. It is now operated with two double shuttered and two single shuttered patent clockwise sails with leading boards.
A windmill is a mill that converts the energy of wind into rotational energy by means of vanes called sails or blades.
Parys Mountain Windmill is a Grade II listed building located on the highest point of Parys Mountain near Amlwch, Anglesey, Wales. The structure was built in 1878 to assist a local copper mine in the removal of water from mine shafts. It was the last tower mill ever built in Wales. The windmill remained in use until the mine's closure in 1904
Just a windmill in the middle of a housing estate. Everything is fine. Nothing to see here.
Decided to do a little light-painting this evening in Whitburn. Never been there before. It was quite a strange place, but they seemed to think I was strange, on my knees, in mud, at night, shining a torch at their windmill and grinning....
Love it! Going back am I!
A Nicely restored Windmill near Diss. It's a shame there were no sails when we visited but I understand they are being repaired.
