Default The Windmill at Lytham

Here are some pictures of the Windmill at Lytham. For any golfers here. Lytham is one of the venues for the Open Championship.
The Windmill was built in 1805 and ceased working in 1919, It was then damaged by fire. It has since been restored and is now a museum.
Thanks for taking a look

Surely never see windmill in Thailand, but I love it since I saw in the movie when I was young. In my thought it will appear together with Tulip.

Nice place, guy.

Nice shots. I like the framing on the first one. I have golfers in the family and they just might show up there. They are like that!

What a beautifully manicured part of the country, Lytham has indeed hosted the Open although this year it's in Bill's territory at Turnberry.
Excellent work as always Jakester, they are all quality pictures although I favour the third for compostion, angles, shape, shade and colour.
