Here's my entry.

Holgate Windmill at the edge of York. It was restored recently and is fully functioning selling stoneground flour on its regular open days.

Centring the column would have been nice too.

-2 is a tough start, unlike my +3!

Ignore them I like it, I did think of where the wind turbines were situated but couldn't be bothered to cycle to avon mouth (which is soo soo picturesque), but I can't think of any proper windmills locally!

We've got a solar field near here - now I just need to get off my backside and remember my camera!

There's a couple of solar farms near Yate and recently a wind turbine has appeared near the Tormarton junction of the M4..

As you drop down from Pucklechurch to Westerleigh you can see one of the solar farms, at first glance it looks like a huge lake / flooded fields !

The large wind turbine looks like its very close to the National Trust's Dyrham Park ?

Can Vernon be disqualified for taking a decent picture AND following the rules???

 

[hopless500]

Ah. It's ok. There are no feet included, and no herons.

@summerdays that's part of my commute !

I'm usually passing there about 8:30 and 4 ish (that's if I'm not having to go into the centre of town in which case it's the B&B path instead) and I hate those slats in the fence when there is a low sun in the morning. And actually a number of my past photos have been taken along that stretch.

 

[Spartak]

My first time as judge ! Not easy !

After much deliberation

The winner is @hopless500 with his very 'arty' picture.

Special mention to @vernon 's retro pic & I also liked @summerdays picture of a section of my commute - although I usually see them working at approx 04:45

 

[djb1971]

Well done @hopless500

 

[hopless500]

Oooh!
Thank you (I think!)

I shall go away and deliberate on the next photo challenge
