This is an old abandoned windmill in a village called Great Hazeley in Oxfordshire. Planned an evening trip here after finishing work on a Friday evening. there, but much later than expected, the sun was now much lower in the sky and the chance of a late evening soft light had all but gone really, especially as a big snow storm rolling in just after this was taken.
Not really a study in abandoned building itself, more of a sky shot I know, but that's the fault of taking the battery out of my cam bag to re-charge!!!

Thanks to everybody that left comments and voted. I didn't honestly think this would end with such a high score (picked up by most that it really didn't emphasise 'abandoned').
It was a fantastic evening when I shot, the freak passing clouds dumped a load of snow on me whilst sitting in a wind swept field. It had been a lovely day to this point, I went up there with little more than a t-shirt, then this cold front swept in!
Some other shots I managed to gat that evening....
i believe that the wind mill is old but i can't see how old it is. but I am giving you a 9 because the photo is extremely, incredibly and greatly beautiful
Beautiful shot of the sunset... wish the windmill was a little more prominent tho. I like that it's sharp enough thtat you can see the struts on the vanes.
