Another shot from Sunday outside an old church. Bricks have always fascinated me. Many years ago I worked as a hod carrier - the person who carries the bricks and mortar to the bricklayer. Very hard work!
A massive brick landmark in these parts, trains still go over it today.

Small leaf fallen on the wet bricks along the dam. Always like the textures and lines of the bricks with fallen leaves, etc.
Remainder of photos taken after the storm I couldn't upload yesterday due to computer connection issues. All handheld and some not the sharpest.
I saw this old place, I guess it was someone's shed, for their water toys and tools, I like the way it was trying to hide.
These are the big vats that they used for refining sugar from molasses when this mill was in operation. All that remains of the original structure is the walls and these kettles and other machinery. The roof is now replaces by a huge, steel structure, and walkways have been built inside it so people can get closer to the equipment.
When I first started coming to Sugar Mill Gardens back in January of 2008, the walls had no protection around them and the whole ruin was encircled by a chain link fence to keep people out. I think the decision to reinforce the structure with the steel roof was done to preserve what's left of the walls and the kettles. Parts of the wall came down even during the time between when I started visiting, and when they built the enclosure. It is rather monolithic and ugly, but the good thing is that we can now go inside and see things closer up than before. Future generations stand a better chance of seeing this old mill's ruins now.
