With the wind in her sails

This lovely restored windmill is on a roundabout... yes, not a mistype- a roundabout....in York. The Holgate Mill opens to the public so I'm going to have to revisit. The sun made a welcome appearance for my shot.

what? dramatic angle on whatever the roundabout it. here is means a circle of traffic flow.

I really love how you composed this. Your POV is awesome! Very effective!

[Heidi]

What a great pov in this! Great job on keeping the detail of the windmill against the bright sky and that it did not turn in to a silhouette.

@mwbc "Roundabout" means the same here, Megan! This windmill looks really odd on the roundabout with grass and traffic flows around it! Thanks for your comment.

[Angela]

@emrob Thanks, Mandy. I'd got this shot in my mind as I saw the building and i crawled around on the grass underneath until I could take it!

[Angela]

@heidit Thanks, Heidi. I metered on the black building to keep the exposure but luckily that didn't wash the sky out.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

nice shot!

[Lee]

I like your POV it give an impression of large.

[Jo]

So do you play dodge the traffic to get onto the roundabout to visit the mill, goodness, only in England! Nice shot btw.

Great pov! Makes the windmill look very statuesque and imposing..... And as Jo said, were you on the roundabout , risking all for a photo?!

[Judi]

Excellent POV.

[Mary Beth O'Sullivan]

WOW!!! Great POV and wind mill! We have tall metal ones here! Not as picturesque! Love it!

[Angela]

@jo13 @jackie8 Luckily it's not a terribly busy roundabout as it's in a housing estate but it does all make the experience slightly surreal! I suppose the car drivers round there must be used to mad tourists risking life and limb to get a photo of their windmill!

[Angela]

@marybethosullivan Thanks Mary Beth- we have the rather ugly wind farm jobbies too but we still have a fiar few of these rather more picturesque wind mills too.

[Rachel]

Great POV - so effective, very dramatic.

[Neale]

Nice shot. Narrative made me think of pat head, rub tummy in a circle !!
A vertical spinning thing on a horizontal circle of cars. Must be a strange sight. :)

@fotofella I love that analogy! Had to share it with the family!
