Approximately half a mile along the valley there is a 19th-century cotton mill called Gibson Mill. The mill was water powered and has been renovated to demonstrate renewable energy sources and a sustainability strategy. It is surrounded by 400 acres (1.6 km2) of unspoilt woodland and crossed by 30 miles (48 km) of footpaths. The former cotton mill was one of the first powered mills built at the start of the Industrial Revolution.
Water powered turbines, photo voltaic panels, composting toilets, a wood-burning boiler, a wood-burning cocklestove and locally sourced reclaimed interior materials have gone into making the venture sustainable.
The mill, a grade II listed building, reopened to the public on Saturday, 24 September 2005, and there are exhibits about the mill and its workers. (Wiki)

Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire
Been on my bucket list for quite some time. Didn’t bother checking the weather conditions… just went for a morning out and the compulsory full breakfast in Hebden Bridge afterwards. Was taken back by the recommended car park at Clough Hole… very hilly and sections of single-track road leading to it. It’s only ¾ mile walk to the actual mill from the car park, but very steep if you take the direct route down the boulder steps or the meandering longer route… either way I was knackered on the way back. Need to restart my fitness campaign again!
Having said all that, quite happy with how this has turned out. Better conditions and this would make a stunning print, especially with winter snow on the ground.
Another view of Gibsons brings us to their marina. An overpass gives me a different perspective and has me looking down on some very vivid colors. From a wooden boat to a home with a rooftop of plants, a wide angle lens filters out the remaining white boats. I thought it interesting how the shadow on the green cover over the mast, left a unique pattern. in all, it was a very colorful scene.
Another photo taken from the bottom of Gibsons Steps, Great Ocean Road. Tiered are 2 sea stacks nicknamed Gog and Magog. I'm not sure which one this is.
