SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
18 JAN 2020
RULE OF THIRDS

This is Pitstone Windmill. It stands in the north-east corner of a large field near the parish boundary of Ivinghoe and Pitstone in Buckinghamshire. It is now owned by the National Trust. It is thought to have been first built circa 1627 as this date is carved on part of the framework of the windmill. This is the earliest date to be found on any windmill in the British Isles. Such a structure would have had to have frequent repairs made to it, so it is quite possible the mill predates 1627.

i love how black the windmill is in contrast to the bright green. the windmill is certainly in just the right place - for 'rule of thirds' and for withstanding the test of time!

enjoyed in 'Saturday Self Challenge'
