Ο Μύλος Ματσόπουλου στα Τρίκαλα αποτελεί ένα από τα σημαντικότερα μνημεία Βιομηχανικής Κληρονομιάς της χώρας μας. Χτίστηκε το 1884 από τους αδερφούς Αγαθοκλή, λίγο μετά την απελευθέρωση της Θεσσαλίας. Υπήρξε ο πρώτος κυλινδρόμυλος που χτίστηκε στην Ελλάδα και ο μεγαλύτερος των Βαλκανίων ενώ δίπλα του κατασκευάστηκε και το πρώτο μακαρονοποιείο της χώρας.
Στα χρόνια που ακολούθησαν άλλαξε πολλές φορές ιδιοκτησία, μέχρι που κατέληξε στον Ιωάννη Ματσόπουλο και μετά το θάνατό του, το 1977, στο δήμο Τρικκαίων, ο οποίος με τη συγχρηματοδότηση της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης τον αναπαλαίωσε.
Στις μέρες μας αποτελεί ένα δυναμικό πολιτισμικό κέντρο, με πλήθος καλλιτεχνικών δραστηριοτήτων να λαμβάνουν χώρα εκεί. Στο κεντρικό κτίσμα φιλοξενούνται κυρίως καλλιτεχνικές εκθέσεις και στους υπόλοιπους χώρους περιλαμβάνονται το δημοτικό θέατρο, θερινός κινηματογράφος, συνεδριακός χώρος και το εργαστήρι τέχνης του πολιτιστικού οργανισμού του δήμου. Τέλος, στο χώρο λειτουργεί το δημοτικό αναψυκτήριο, όπου μπορείτε να χαλαρώσετε μέσα σε ένα καταπράσινο περιβάλλον.
Τα τελευταία χρόνια,πάντως,η φήμη του εξαπλώθηκε πανελληνίως ως «Μύλος των ξωτικών»,το μεγαλύτερο Χριστουγεννιάτικο θεματικό πάρκο με αναμφισβήτητες θετικές επιδράσεις στην οικονομία της πόλης.
Όμως οι (αντι)αισθητικές παρεμβάσεις τις οποίες υφίσταται εκείνη την περίοδο, με τεράστιους όγκους πλαστικής πολύχρωμης κιτσαρίας να παρεμβάλλονται άναρχα και ακαλαίσθητα ανάμεσα στις εκαταστάσεις του, αλλοιώνουν και τραυματίζουν «θανάσιμα» τον αρχιτεκτονικό χαρακτήρα του μνημείου.
Έτσι σε μιάν άλλη-πιο ήρεμη- περίοδο αποφάσισα να φωτογραφίσω το υπέροχο κτηριακό σύνολο υπενθυμίζοντας την μοναδική φυσιογνωμία του εμπνεόμενος και τον αντίστοιχο τίτλο.
The Mill Matsopoulos in Trikala is one of our country's most important monuments Industrial Heritage. Built in 1884 by brothers Agathocles, soon after the liberation of Thessaly. He was the first roller built in Greece and the largest in the Balkans, while next to him built the first pasta factory in the country.
In the years which followed ownership changed several times until he came to John Matsopoulos and after his death in 1977 in Trikala municipality, which co-funded by the European Union renovated.
Nowadays it is a dynamic cultural center, with many cultural activities take place there. In the central building mainly hosted art exhibitions and the other areas included the municipal theater, summer cinema, conference room and workshop art cultural organization of the municipality. Finally, in the area it operates elementary cafeteria where you can relax in a green environment.
In recent years, however, his reputation spread nationwide as "Mill of the Elves", the largest Christmas theme park with undeniable positive effects on the economy of the city.
But the (anti) aesthetic interventions which exists at the time, with huge volumes of plastic colorful kitsch interfere anarchically and unsightly buildings between the insalling, alter and injure "fatally" the architectural character of the monument.
So in another, quieter period I decided to photograph the magnificent building complex recalling the unique physiognomy inspired the corresponding title.

El edificio cuya forma coincide con la de la isla, que termina en un huso como la proa de un barco, se construyó en los siglos XII y XIII para su parte más antigua (una torre utilizada como vivienda, llamada la mazmorra por su facilidad). Primero sirve como una casa fuerte, controla el paso y monitorea el peaje establecido aguas abajo del lago.
History
John C. Fremont and Kit Carson made the first known Anglo exploration of Antelope Island in 1845. The Island was named after the explorers observed several pronghorn antelope grazing on the rangelands.
Fielding Garr established the first permanent residence on the island in 1848. The ranch house he built is the oldest Anglo-built structure in Utah still on its original foundation.
The island and ranch passed from owner to owner until 1981 when the State of Utah purchased the 28,000-ace island for a State Park.
Geology
Antelope Island is part of what is known as the Basin and Range, stretching from the Wasatch mountains on the east to the Sierra Nevada mountain range on the west. Antelope Island is the largest island on Great Salt Lake at just over 28,000 acres, stretching 15 miles long and about 5 miles wide.
The oldest exposed rocks on the island are from the Farmington Canyon Complex, called gneiss. These metamorphic rocks have been dated to 1.7 billion years old, and are the same age as rocks found at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. These rocks can be seen on the southern two-thirds of the island.
Tintic Quartzite, found on the northern one-third of the island, is 550 million years old and was deposited in a shallow marine environment. This metamorphic rock can be seen around the Park’s visitor center, Lady Finger Point and Buffalo Point.
The youngest rocks on the island are tufa, a sedimentary rock deposited from concentrations of calcium carbonate during the time of Lake Bonneville. Tufa deposits typically resemble concrete and can be viewed from the Buffalo Point Trail.
Wildlife
Although surrounded by saltwater, Antelope Island has over 40 freshwater springs producing enough water to support the island’s abundant wildlife.
Bison are the most famous residents. Twelve animals were brought to the island in 1893 and were the foundation for today’s herd of 550 – 700. An annual bison roundup is held each fall to assess the health of the herd and sell extra animals.
Pronghorn antelope are native to Utah and to the island. These small, deer-like animals are the fastest animals in North America and can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour.
Mule deer and bighorn sheep are the other large herbivores on the island. Predators include coyotes, badgers, bobcats, and numerous birds of prey such as owls, hawks and falcons.
