Love's shed.
Was an old blacksmiths shed 100 years ago. But I have no idea, I liked the coloured paint and composition, and Rust!
A good sunny day today so a long walk down the coast followed by a great gig in Cardiff watching British Sea Power, what could be better. Machineries of Joy is perfect, the wild coast and a wild night, the song is by British Sea Power.

Watkins Woolen Mill in Missouri.
This was my second time inside this mill. The first time, I was really a novice at photography and didn’t come away with much in terms of clarity and a good viable image. If you dig deep into my archives you will see some HDR work I did back then. I don’t encourage you to go looking, lol. This time around the guide was more than gracious enough to allow me to explore just about any part of the mill that I wanted while he gave the tour to an older couple. I was inspired by a fellow photographer I met at the ART WESTPORT fair last weekend. His work was incredible and my favorite piece was a b/w masterpiece of this machine. I will have to find his name and pass it along as I captured his business card before I left. To say I had a heyday would be spot on. This was the first image I worked on when I got home. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Just a straight on capture but the intricate details and the massive piece are just jaw dropping to see in person. If you’ve never been I would encourage you to take the tour.
Here is a little info about the mill taken from their website.
In 1958, The Watkins Mill Association (WMA) was founded to preserve and support the living history of the Watkins Woolen Mill State Historic Site, the last textile mill with its original machinery still intact in the United States. Watkins Woolen Mill, located northeast of Kearney, flourished from 1860 until 1886 when the cloth shear broke; they continued portions of their manufacturing until 1898. WMA has cultivated an 1870’s venue that highlights quality cultural, artistic and historic education and healthy outdoor activities for all ages.

Alley Mill is a gristmill located at Alley Spring near Eminence Missouri. Built in 1894, it uses a turbine rather than the traditional waterwheel. The milling used rollers rather than stone wheels. This was very high-tech for the time. This is a monochrome (sepia tinted) version of an image of the milling rollers.
Looking more like it belongs in a Star Wars movie than a rural meadow, this machine is designed to harvest corn from the stalks.
While shooting the abandoned house a couple of photos back, I noticed this odd contraption across the road. I was approached by the owner and advised that this machinery was for sale. I'd actually love to have it to display in my front yard! Perhaps plant a few corn plants around it, and some wildflowers? ;)
