The Powder Mills were built in 1844, a factory for making gunpowder which was built on the open moor, not far from Postbridge. Gunpowder was needed for the tin mines and granite quarries then in operation on the moor. The buildings were widely spaced from one another for safety and the mechanical power for grinding ("incorporating") the powder was derived from waterwheels driven by a leat.
Now known as "Powdermills" or "Powder Mills", there are extensive remains of this factory still visible. Two chimneys still stand and the walls of the two sturdily-built incorporating mills with central waterwheels survive well: they were built with substantial walls but flimsy roofs so that in the event of an explosion, the force of the blast would be directed safely upwards. The ruins of a number of ancillary buildings also survive. A proving mortar—a type of small cannon used to gauge the strength of the gunpowder—used by the factory still lies by the side of the road.

Our visit to the Hagley Museum put us in the middle of gunpowder history. In 1802 Dupont he sited and began building the mill along the Brandywine River near Wilmington. Brandywine River Powder Mills produced its first gunpowder in 1803. Started as a large-scale, sophisticated manufactory, Brandywine maintained operations for 119 years. The Brandywine River Powder Mills performed shell loading and some smokeless nitrations during World War I. On this property there are 8 rolling mills water wheel & water turbine in different degrees of decay. Brandywine Creek on one side and a man-made water sloth on the other side of the mills kept the powder yard safe from the risk of explosion.
UP 8024 brought more than a heavy hauler through Yuba Gap, it brought the weather with it. Once the train arrived, the light flakes of powder soon turned into fat snowflakes. Enough to coat the ballast, and enough to bring out the chain law on Interstate 80.

Two skiers making "eights" on Alta's East Baldy face. It's been a few days since we had a storm but terrain openings like this keep making untouched snow available. Next storm is supposed to be here on Wednesday.
Found out after the fact that these two were skiing for a video.
I took this photograph and had it framed for my brother's house warming present....hope they like it :)
I am pretty sure this is the Powder Puff Lilly Pilly...but happy to be corrected :)
I believe this was the powder magazine at Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal N.S.
The roof style makes it look like a relic from the French, who had a fort on the site before the British.

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...
i've created a new group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
I had the pleasure this afternoon of meeting up with one of my Flickr contacts whose work I greatly admire. Steve (aka Maxxsmart) and I met at the old California Powder Works factory in Hercules where they used to produce dynamite during the gold rush days. We decided to meet in the afternoon to do a little long exposure work. There are a ton of different options at this place, but it also gets a bit hard to isolate an image due to all the stuff that's laying around. I decided to focus most of my attention on this old pier.
Steve, thanks for all your inspirational work! This one's for you my friend.

What an insane winter we're having in Utah! I think we've had over 6 feet of new snow in less than 10 days and more is on the way in just a couple of days. Bonus: the sun came up this morning and delivered a surprise bluebird powder day. I'll never get tired of taking photos like this.
