A day when wild winds blew clouds scampering across the wet sands. We have wild winds forecast again today, so hope there'll be some clouds to chase. I have a painting to do this morning for my granddaughter so may have to wait to chase the clouds . Machineries of Joy is by British Sea Power

Gas Works Park in Seattle is built on the spot of the old gas works plant and preserves several original structures and machinery of the plant. The plant produced gas for street lighting, originally, and later for heating, cooking, etc. It operated from 1910 through 1956.

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.
