Napton Windmill 2. Closer, we see it's been converted as part of a house, probably why it's so well preserved!

Happy New Year, may you all have a prosperous and productive 2025! I've chosen another #SonyP200 photo for today. I did love this solid little silver metal brick of a camera with its slightly larger CCD sensor (for a point & shoot). Colours were about the best digital colours I've had! So far my film photos of this bend in the Grand Union Canal haven't come close.

Steps. #Edinburgh is quite hilly, so you will quite often find sets of steps like these as short cuts from one part to another.

That half-timbered cottage again. I like that so much about this rustic building style is visible here. The thatch of course; the timbers which are the structural elements, the white panels (originally wattle and daub), the stolen stones from the Abbey, the brick panels every which way, and the tiny window!

Low bridge. This is a defunct railway bridge, now carrying a "greenway". Taken on a group walk; we didn't actually go under the bridge, but over a style to the right, just before.

@carusb in the days of film, enhancing colors was out of reach for the amateur (it could be a property of a film brand only if it controlled the whole chain of chemical processes, which, with all those independent film laboratories was not the case).

@tg9541 Nowadays I use colour film almost because of the variety of colour looks I get, but generally, colour accuracy is not one of them! But then, 75% or more of my photos these days are black and white film, neatly bypassing that problem!

@russellt You may technically be right, but you can't actually walk up it (have to scramble the last bit, unless you're way fitter than I am... which is of course very possible!), so fits my definition of a mountain. A small one, to be sure! :-)
