Not far from Garda Lake there is a narrow canyon carved by Toscolano creek. Since 16th century many little papermills were built to produce paper from rags, using the water power. The structure of those buildings developed mainly in the 19th century, in the industrial age. Nowadays those old fascinating buildings are part of a magic environment, where the human impact is melted in the nature, where anything is part of a wonderful mosaic. Single Shot - 59s long exposure.
Amazing to see the carpet of Bluebells, including their colonising this fallen tree.
Spring Morning at the Knapp and Papermill, a Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Reserve.
The trees along the South side of Papermill Road in Avon, NY have been completely cleared out leading up to the tracks. There were also several trees removed on the North side of the road, and the stumps are still there. Standing on the North side of Papermill Road now offers this open view.

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”

After busting through the snow at the Papermill Road crossing in Avon, NY, the powdery stuff really fills the air around the 420. This is from an early snowfall on November 21, 2014. There is supposed to be some decent snowfall around here on Friday March 2, 2018.

A rare morning Southbound LA&L freight at Papermill Road in Avon, NY on 6/2/2011. High winds the previous afternoon had blown a tree down onto the r.o.w. so the train was left overnight at the Avon Yard. MOW cleared the tree the next morning and the train was brought from Avon to Lakeville, then the crew went back North with a new outbound train from Lakeville.

It was the end of the small switcher era on the LA&L as LA&L 72, a MOW flatcar, and a plow are towed to their new home at the RGVRRM in Industry. The train is seen broadside from the farm field on Papermill Road in Avon, NY on November 5, 2023.
Just one of several emerald beauties seen along the Chelmer-Blackwater Navigation near Papermill Lock today. Thanks to John Tomsett and Jon Mee for their ID help!
Chalcolestes viridis, formerly Lestes viridis, is a damselfly of the family Lestidae. It has a metallic green body and at rest it holds its wings away from its body. Its common name is the Willow Emerald Damselfly or the Western Willow Spreadwing. Previously in Britain it was a rare vagrant, but it is now a new colonist. Willow Emerald Damselflies have been spreading rapidly in south-eastern England since they began to colonise East Anglia from 2009 onwards. Prior to this there had been just three authenticated records (in Kent, Sussex and Suffolk). The species is now established in Essex, Kent, Norfolk and Suffolk and has been found in the London recording area in south-west Essex.
De Pere (pronounced locally as "dee-peer") is a city located in Brown County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 23,800 at the 2010 census. De Pere is part of the Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area. At the arrival of the first European, Jean Nicolet, who visited the place in 1634–1635, De Pere was the site of a polyglot settlement of several thousand attracted by the fishing at the first rapids of the Fox River. In 1671 French Jesuit explorer Père Claude-Jean Allouez founded the St. Francis Xavier Mission at the last set of rapids on the Fox River before it enters Lake Michigan. The site was known as Rapides Des Pères (rapids of the fathers) which became modern day De Pere. Originally De Pere consisted solely of the community on the east side of the river; however, in 1890 the City of West De Pere, on the west side of the river, consolidated with the city of De Pere to form a single community. St. Norbert College, which abuts the banks of the Fox River on the city's west side near the Claude Allouez Bridge, was founded by Norbertine Abbot Pennings in 1898.
Evergreen Papermill in Canton NC was the backbone of the town's economy for 115 years, but management closed the mill in May 2023. Photographed with a Graflex Crown Graphic with a Wollensak 135mm f/4.7 lens on 4x5 Fomapan 100 film.
The buildings in this historic mill complex date from 1850 till about 1890. They were used to manufacture wool, cotton, paper bags, and then, finally, chocolate from the early 1900s till World War II. More recently the old mill buildings have been renovated and repurposed as retail, dining and office space. Ballston Spa, New York.
LA&L Office car 101, The E & S Blabey, gets pulled by LA&L 420 at Papermill Road in Avon, NY, heading to the LA&L 60th Anniversary event at the RGVRR Museum on April 11, 2025.
LA&L 433 leads the road train at Papermill Road in Avon, NY on July 1, 2022. I figured if I was gonna get a pic of a train with the new Tacoma, it might as well be the LA&L since it is ony a few miles from home. The new truck is not exactly what I wanted, but these days the customer is wrong, and the auto manufacturers dictate what you will get. Can't say that I'm a fan of the noisy and constantly shifting auto transmission. Might consider something else in a couple years if the supply chain improves enough to order exactly what I want.
