United Kingdom Secret Mill, Borrowdale
This is a beautiful old mill at a river, which is already covered by a lot of moss, making it an even more interesting photo with the nice contrast of the cold river with the warm green tones of the building.
Photography Tips
Having a tripod, ND filters and polarizers is always highly recommended for spots like this. Longer exposures have a big benefit, that the water doesn't grab too much attention with many details from the beautiful building.
Sturdy shoes are also recommended or ideally knee-high boots to be even more flexible with your positioning.
