After dark

Chesterton Windmill taken with the moon out and the sun set and the use of on camera falsh.

Chesterton Windmill is just off the Fosse Way (an old Roman Road also known as the B4455), about five miles to the south of Leamington Spa, near the village of Harbury in Warwickshire. OS Grid reference SP348594
This unique windmill stands on six stone pillars, supporting two raised floors. It was built in 1632, and worked until 1910 when its machinery broke down. It not clear if it was originally intended as a functional windmill, or as a folly - an observatory has been suggested, which in many ways makes more sense.

Excellent use of the flash to highlight the windmill and keep the sky dark. The contrast is terrific. V

The flash has really brought out the colours here. The vivid green of the grass and deep blue sky work well.
