A frosty, wintery wonderland awaits visitors to The Mill. Wander the meandering snow covered trails and share the feel of the season with the various inhabitants of this beautiful, sugar frosted locale.
The stream at Kakopetria running past the Mill which serves the best sauce to go with their fresh trout

By 1941, after 50 years of logging the forest around the town of Bordreaux they had wiped out that which made them money and the lumber mill closed. Everything made of wood was dismantled and the mostly Serbian work force dispersed looking for work. Today the bones of the mill, a stack, some pilings and piles of rubble are all that remain. (Courtney Love and her mother removed the school all the way to the ground, nothing remains. 'mother Love' lives across the street, which was the RR tracks, up the hill in what once was the overseers mansion.) PS, it's been put up for sale three times and removed without selling if you are in the market....
English Counties
This is another collection of images which have been photographed over a long period of time. These are photographs taken mostly on holidays throughout our great Counties . In the day we have travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, with many coastal and country walks and a lot of photography. This is the second of many postings. Please enjoy.

Rhododendron Coordinates..53°20′38″N 2°14′58″W.
Rhododendron is a genus of shrubs and small to (rarely) large trees, the smallest species growing to 10–100 cm (4–40 in) tall, and the largest, R. protistum var. giganteum, reported to 30 m (100 ft) tall. The leaves are spirally arranged; leaf size can range from 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) to over 50 cm (20 in), exceptionally 100 cm (40 in) in R. sinogrande. They may be either evergreen or deciduous. In some species, the undersides of the leaves are covered with scales (lepidote) or hairs (indumentum). Some of the best known species are noted for their many clusters of large flowers. There are alpine species with small flowers and small leaves, and tropical species such as section Vireya that often grow as epiphytes. Species in this genus may be part of the heath complex in oak-heath forests in eastern North America.
They have frequently been divided based on the presence or absence of scales on the abaxial (lower) leaf surface (lepidote or elepidote). These scales, unique to subgenus Rhododendron, are modified hairs consisting of a polygonal scale attached by a stalk.

The Mill
‘The Mill’ has a long history and has undergone many changes over the years. Originally built as a planing mill and ash factory, the main building fronting onto Queen Street was sold toward the end of the 19th century, and converted into a woollen mill. The second building at the rear of the property (now adjoined to the main building) was added in 1910, and functioned as a warehouse. In 1922 the buildings were sold, and a picker room was added in 1933. Products of the “Brampton Knitting Mills” went to such notable clients as the British military during the Boer War and the Canadian military during the Second World War.
All of three of these buildings/additions are representative of the industrial architecture of their time, but subsequent renovations have changed the buildings’ character considerably. Windows and doors no longer feature the voussoirs, keystones or round-headed shape that once distinguished them, and the façade which once boasted a false-front giving the appearance of an extra half storey, has been changed considerably. A glass atrium and a passageway connecting the two buildings have also been added.
The Mill at Hartley Wespall, Hampshire. A beautiful sunny day and time to get out in the countryside. The River Lyde is running high and the ford is quite swamped.
I seem to be in a rut of local sunset views at the moment! This is the view from the locks by The Mill at Condor Green looking due West towards Glasson Dock.
I had a plan to get this shot a little earlier in the Year when the setting sun is fully aligned with the canal, but the weather never seemed to play ball! So thats a plan that will have to wait.
Anyway, this is a branch of the Lancaster Canal that gives access to the Sea at the small Port of Glasson. I like the small copse of Beech trees by the White House on the left, but wasn't too sure about the lady dog walker heading through the Car Park on the right! However, I decided to let her remain in shot!

Excerpt from the plaque:
All steel windows had to be replaced upon revitalizing and renovating the Mills complex. To minimize the impact on the original building exterior, each new window was crafted using the same technique and materials, while seamlessles incorporating into the overall architectural design. Old window frames were retained and repurposed to become new entry floor signages, showcasing a glimpse of the old factories while turning a new leaf for the Mills.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mills,_Hong_Kong:
The Mills (南豐紗廠), formerly known as Nang Fung Cotton Mills, located at No. 45 Pak Tin Par Street, Chai Wan Kok, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, was founded in 1954 by Chen Din Hwa, known as the "King of Cotton Yarn", founder of Nan Fung Group. The total floor area is 24,500 square meters, making it the highest producing textile factory in Hong Kong at the time. Subsequently, Unit 1 to Unit 3 were dismantled after the filming of the fire scene in the 1997 Hong Kong film Lifeline and became the private residential estate Summit Terrace, while Unit 4 to Unit 6 ceased operation in 2008 and were converted into warehouses.
In 2014, Nan Fung Cotton Mills began revitalization works, and after completion of the project on December 6, 2018, it opened with spaces for work, a textile cultural and arts center, retail areas, and recreational spaces.
It has received the Award of New Design in Heritage Contexts of The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation.

The Green Wall
Since the beginning of the year, an elaborate and carefully constructed The Green Wall has been on display on 3/F. Composed of tree cotton, ramie plants, and 2 large pieces of hand embroidered art, the piece is aimed at highlighting the importance of plants.
Plants provide us with oxygen, materials, clothing, and an overall heightened sense of well-being. At The Mills, we have teamed up with curator Lab Pheno and botanist Forest Round Round to use cotton and linen in creating the embroidered art.
By displaying the raw materials and elaborate artwork created using cotton and linen, we hope that The Green Wall gives visitors a better understanding and appreciation of all that plants provide us, now and throughout history.
At The Mills, we want to carry on our legacy as a former textile mill with a future of applied creativity and innovation, and continue to touch upon topics through an interesting and aesthetic way.
