The Lake District in Northwest England seems still underrated to me. Granted - there are no epic very high mountains, no volcanoes, it's not in a faraway corner of the world etc., but the beauty and "idyllicness" of this place is really special. It's nothing for fans of "good weather", but that makes it more interesting for photographers. Here is what I got in a (mostly rainy) week.

These are all great captures, but my heart goes to the mill!

The mill is located very hidden, but I had seen captures of it which made me put it onto my bucket list. I managed to research on the net how to get to it (it's not complicated, that's all I will say, but it will probably take a while to filter the right information). On location there is only one little spot on some slippery stones between the creek and a stone wall where you can set up your camera and see the whole mill; thus most images of the scene look quite alike. Nevertheless it was fun to find it and say "yeah, I have the mill" 😉

Ok, looks lie we're all going to the Mill and you're our guide-
No kidding! If that thing is just some spot he found, and not already a tourist attraction, somebody in this region is not doing their job. They could sell photographers tickets to that spot!

The mill is a well-known subject among landscape photographers.
There are reports on the net about how to get to it, but you have to do quite some research to cobble together the information.
It is on private ground (although actually there is nowhere a sign which says "don't go here" or something), and it is said that the owner doesn't like photographers going there. Thus I chose Sunday morning for my little secret expedition 😉
