Went out shooting yesterday looking for spots of interest in the area and found this old windmill on a hilltop with commanding views, surrounded by wheat fields bathed in some rare summer sun. I wasn't the only photographer with designs on this location and bumped into a fair few about the fields! This shot was taken just as the sun re-emerged underneath the low band of cloud near the horizon, in that 20-minute burst of light before day's end.. The mill is called Chesterton Windmill and was built sometime around 1632, possibly with assistance from an apprentice of Inigo Jones. It is a Grade I listed building and has been restored a few times over the years, although the mill itself is no longer functional. Suggestions abound that it was originally built as an observatory rather than a windmill, though this point is up for debate. This must be one of my local area's most celebrated and famous landmarks and apart from there not being many clouds I couldn't have asked for much nicer conditions for my first time visiting and photographing it... (more to come from this location probably) =) Adam
