Wrawby windmill in Lincolnshire had a fresh coat of paint back in the summer - I turned up one afternoon to take some photos and there were some chaps up ladders with paint pots and brushes.
Anyway I went back on a nice sunny October afternoon with a polariser to hopefully highlight the body of the mill and the white clouds against the blue sky.

prepared for the storm that was predicted over Detmold (Westphalia, Germany) - just when we had arrived in the open air museum by horse drawn coach. So we could not see it in its full glory
A windy evening and a passing storm had the windmills working tonight. I shot this with the vintage Helios 4402 50mm lens.
It is believed that this Smock Mill was erected on Beacon Hill in 1802 as the carved initials TB, 1802, standing for Thomas Beard, the owner, are to be seen on one of the original internal timbers. Further evidence of the date comes from the Sussex Weekly Advertiser of the 7th June 1802, which states that a human skeleton was discovered by workmen digging for the foundations of the windmill.
The Mill ground the corn of the village and supplied flour to the local bakers until it ceased to function in 1881. After this time it became progressively dilapidated and the village was in danger of losing their mill.
In 1923 the Marquess of Abergavenny, Lord of the Manor, granted a 99 year lease of the Mill and a small piece of land around it, to a group of important village people as Trustees for the village. The Trustees undertook “‘not to alter or detract from the picturesque appearance of the Mill and to preserve the same as an object of interest to the inhabitants and visitors to Rottingdean and district”.
When Rottingdean was absorbed into Brighton Borough in 1928, the Corporation acquired all the downland to the west side of the village from the Abergavenny estate, including the lease of the Windmill. The lease and trusteeship expire in 2021 at which time responsibility for the Mill will revert to Brighton and Hove City Council.
A post mill with a 2-storey roundhouse, built in 1721 and moved to its present site in 1829. It ceased working at the outbreak of the First World War and was renovated externally in the 1980s and internally in the 1990s. Most machinery remains.
Guess this location has been shot from every angle available, but I wanted to try it, too. :) It is Kinderdijk - Unesco Heritage. my girlfriend and me arrived at the location at 7pm and so we only had around 45mins left to get a good shot. Unfortunately the light was not THAT good, so I decided to make a longtime exposure and adjust the light afterwards at home in post processing. I have two edits of this: One with this slight pink touch and another one with an orange. I prefer this edit more than the other one as it is more "dreamy". A more realistic look would be the orange one. Perhaps I will upload this at a later time. :)
Thanks for all the votes and favs in advance and all the best,
