Peyto Lake, Banff National Park.
It was an overcast and rainy morning so we were able to bypass the main parking lot and head to an upper lot to reduce the amount of time of the hike to get to this spot off a small dirt trail. This rock outcropping is another 15-20min or so from the main viewpoint and the views are stunning from here. I met an Australian photographer at this spot and we swapped portraits of each other from a top of one of the rock ledges. This one is without either of us in it. I like how it shows the run off from the mountain snow through the rock and mud and into the lake. This glacial migration is considered rock flour. This was our second stop on the Icefields Parkway.
It is known that there was a mill as early as 1556. In the following centuries this mill has been regularly renewed. The last time that took place was in 1899. The existing mill (a ground sailor) was demolished and a scaffolding mill came in return. The lower stone part was built on site and the actual mill was from the Zaan region. There the mill was used as an oil mill. In Bunschoten the mill was converted into a flour mill.

Macro Monday's and the theme of "Mesh".
This is the moment of dropping around half a teaspoonful of Flour onto a Sieve. My flash was set behind and just to the right of the subject.
The mesh of the Sieve is plastic and allowed some light to pass through it.
A visit to de Molen is a totally unique experience and a must do if you're passing through Foxton
De Molen was officially opened in April 2003. Built to plans/specifications obtained from the Netherlands, it is a full scale replica of a traditional 17th Century Dutch flourmill.
Tour the upper levels and working parts of de Molen. Stone ground flour, milled here in de Molen, is available for purchase along with Dutch groceries, (including licorice, Dutch cheeses and croquettes).
De Molen and The Dutch Oven are run by The Foxton Windmill Trust Inc. which is a non-profit organisation. All proceeds go into the upkeep and running of de Molen.
They mill flour using millstones in the traditional manner.
The traditional stone-ground flour mill, De Molen, has been out of order since storms in late February took panels off its blades and exposed rotting timber.
It sustained further damage in high winds this week
Foxton
Tourism is a major part of the District and Foxton's economy. Foxton is the home of NZ's horse-drawn tram plus a sound and movie museum; flax stripper museum; dutch windmill and more
Foxton is a thriving township with local and national branded businesses.. Surrounded to the North, East and South by agricultural and pastoral farming, Foxton also supports a number of commercial and service industries and an all-weather racecourse. The main shopping area, and attractions, are situated one block from SH1 adjacent to the Manawatu River Loop on the northern bank of the Manawatu River.
The last remaining of five water powered flour mills in Garfield County, WA. The mill was built in 1878 and all the original equipment remains in place, although no longer operating. The current owners serve meals in return for donations to pay for upkeep and improvements.
The westernmost tip of Flour Lake seen from Clearwater road. This lake is pretty easy to reach by car from the Minnesota North Shore along the Gunflint Trail and is on the way to the Honeymoon Bluff, another great place to visit.
Bonne journée à tous !

This flour mill was established in 1861, and it continues to grow producing Tasmania's finest flour products.
This abandoned flour mill can be found by the Kings river near Enissnag, Co Kilkenny. It was three stories high and is very large. It was built in 1824 and was operational until 1948
It is thought to have been first built circa 1627 as this date is carved on part of the framework. This is the earliest date to be found on any windmill in the British Isles. It should be remembered that such a structure would have had to have frequent repairs made to it, so the mill may predate 1627. It was dendrochronologically dated in 2004 by Dr. Martin Bridge of the Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory when the oldest pieces in the buck were found to be from trees felled in winter 1595/96 and spring 1597. The 'new' crown tree was made from a tree that felled in spring 1670, while the quarter bars of the trestle were from trees felled between 1824 and 1826, so like most mills, it is a mix of old timbers variously recycled or hanging on from their original use.
For nearly three hundred years grain grown in the two adjoining villages was ground at the mill into flour. In 1874 the mill was bought by Adelbert Wellington Brownlow Cust, 3rd Earl Brownlow who owned the nearby Ashridge Estate. He subsequently left it to a local farmer, who ran a successful milling business from the mill.
In 1902 the mill was seriously damaged during an enormous gale, damaging it beyond the price of economic repair. Around 1922 the derelict ruined mill was bought from the Ashridge Estate by a farmer whose land was close to the mill. In 1937 he donated it to the National Trust. However, it was not until 1963 that a band of volunteers began to carry out renovations at their own expense. The mill appeared in an episode of The Champions titled The Invisible Man which was filmed in 1967.[2] In 1970, after an interlude of 68 years, the mill once again ground corn.
To me this is the more interesting side of Thompson's Flouring Mill. When I was back there windows were open and some were missing. Swallows perpetually darted through the air eating insects. The front of the building is painted nicely, but as you can see the paint on the rear is peeling. Definitely a Bates Motel vibe. Shooting in infrared light made it seem even more creepy.

The Tasmanian Flour Mills (home of Four Roses Flour) sits beside the North Esk River. These historic buildings were originally the Monds and Affleck Mill, which was founded in 1861.
For 120 pictures in 2020 #115 "Ways to weigh or measure", bakers frequently measure flour by weight, most home cooks measur it by volume. Here are both ways in one - a cup of flour on a kitchen scale. But I have to admit we almost never bake anything, so this flour went back in the canister to be used in the future to grace some onion rings or fried pickles.
Bonne journée.

8129, 8170, 8250 and 8183 pass through Binalong, with no need to take on water, on 8936 diverted Manildra Flour from Manildra to Nowra. These diversions happen every few months when a shutdown affects the direct route from Manildra to Nowra via Sydney.
