Red Sky at night sailors delight.
Lower left is the sun set on Wednesday night.
Today Thursday has been so nice, we travelled to Heckington to see one of the few remaining eight sailed windmills, in Lincolnshire.
It is a Tower Mill dated to 1830, see top left picture and lower right, to designs by Michael Ingeldew.
It was repaired in 1890 and ceased working in 1942. A huge amount of money has been spent bringing it to the standard
you see today. It is a tourist centre and part of the Heritage trail.
Top right is a cloud over our home later this evening.

There are many volunteers taken over from Dot and Tom the founders of this meme. Thanks to them all fpr their time and energies in maintaining a smooth running this weekly event.

Hi Bonnie Bonsai, I could only find a game site when I returned your visit.
Thanks for your visit and comment.
Have a great weekend.
Lovely photos. Thank you for sharing via Skywatch Friday.
We used to say shepherds but then I am from Birmingham. We don't really have many sailors on the canal. I wanted to thank you so much for your words today. Meant a lot. I am going to seriously look into a book idea this summer. Of course you would have to be in the credits.
Now your images. It's the way you place then in the montage that always jumps out at me. Each image compliments the next. You introduce me to places I never knew existed.
It was nice that the preservation work allow us still be able to view this magnificent structure. Thanks for sharing and have a nice weekend.
Sun dogs rock! Yours is awesome! I also love windmills, and these have such a charm to them. Awesome collage, as always!
