Mill field and windmill, January

Another photo from my visit to the windmill on Thursday. Another of those probably better on large view ones if you have a moment.

It's been chucking it down here all day again today. Hard to believe this was only a couple of days ago. Still, we have a lot to be grateful for where I live : we have power and are warm and dry, a lot of folks aren't so fortunate.

Edit, 5th Jan. This was taken on 2nd (processed on 3rd as taken date) - seems we had a fine day here on the 2nd last year too : - http://365project.org/dulciknit/365/2013-01-02 but in portrait format. :-D

Later edit. Oh, oops, that one was taken on 1st but posted on 2nd. :-)

There's quite a lot of shots of this windmill and the surrounding area in my project. If anyone fancies a look-see, they can be accessed by clicking on 'abpitstone windmill' in 'Tags' in the box to the right of the shot.

@rachelwithey. Thank you for your comment, Rachel. I'm so sorry but I deleted my other version of this and your kind comment went with it.

I love this place although I no longer work in Tring and have not been there for ages.

[GazBadger]

Is this the same windmill from yesterdays shot? Really beautiful shot. =)

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@gazbadger Thank you, Gaz. It is indeed the same windmill.

[Rachel Withey]

Don't worry. My comments still stand - I like the lines in the ground and the lines of the windmill's sails. And I'm staring wistfully at that blue sky

[Jennifer]

A lovely scene! Looks more like spring!

[Madeline Fontenot]

Very nice image.

I do so love windmills, so appreciate your postings of them very much. I love the different textures between the green/brown of the plants and the large uneven clumps of soil and the way they both lead your eye to that wonderful windmill and the trees and sky in the distance. Fav!

What a neat shot, Alison. It looks likes there's not another thing around for miles standing all by itself. The lines of the windmill are so beautifully distinct when enlarged.

[Jen Hudson]

It's lovely to see the windmill in it's larger setting. I love the composition with the windmill as part of the scene and showing the earth, land and attractive line of trees. Close up view is always great.

[Fiz]

Lovely, what a peaceful scene

[Ariel]

This is a pleasure to see, not least because of the sunlight in it that gives it that early spring feeling.

Great POV and a wonderful arrray of interesting textures lined and colours

[Dione Giorgio]

Gorgeous capture and composition.

[Frank Hymus]

Lovely composition. Very pleasing shot Alison.

[Sean O'Neill]

A very pleasing English country shot.

[Gena Pegg]

Love your composition. Those old wind mills are so much more attractive then the new ones we have now. Love this shot!!

[Carole Imes]

Oh yes! I remember that shot from last year. This is another goodie caught from a great angle. Love it.

[Suse♡]

Lovely shot of that beautiful wondmill, so calming view

[crewnelson]

Great shot with lots of detail.

[Al Bailey]

Lovely shot .... one to view large! :)

[carol white]

A beautiful shot!!

[Gayanne Campbell]

Beautiful capture, love the windmill! Any chance you can share a front shot of it?

[Claire]

It is in such a beautiful setting, hope you do stay safe with all these floods

[Rachael]

I've taken pictures of a thatched windmill in Somerset but would love to know where this one is - the one in Somerset is brilliant but there isn't the distance scene advantage you have in this scene (its harder to get the wide angle)

@smurfmuffin Hi, Rachael. There's some info about the windmill inc. location, here : http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/pitstone-windmill/
