Reflections at Gibson Mill, Hardcastle Crags in Calderdale (outside Hebden Bridge)
hc.historicengland.org.uk/content/pub/previous/yorkshire-...
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)

A beautiful day out with Mark & Andy and we got to this mill I had been admiring on other's photo streams.

Thank you so much for your visit!
I didn't get too many good sunrises on my Trip along the Great Ocean Road. This however was a particularly stunning one with a patchy covering of high cloud which lit up over the Gibson Steps.

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.
In 1994, the Gibson Guitars Custom Shop built a limited production of 100 guitars, to commemorate their 1935 Roy Smeck Radio Grande. This is number 31/100, and according to the certificate of authenticity, it was purchased and used for stage work by well known instrumentalist, Norman Blake. I think Norman did not play it much, as the instrument is in like new, mint condition, except for some light finish crazing around the pick guard. Fujifilm X-A1 and XC16-50.

Gibson Beach is the southernmost beach in Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, south of California's Monterey Peninsula. It's also the best "beach" in the park which is full of rocky bluffs and small pocket coves, all of which are beautiful. On some maps this beach is called "Sandy Beach". Stairsteps lead down to this beach. Looking past the beach here we see Carmel Highlands, the northern part of the coastline that makes up the 90-mile drive that is Big Sur.

The old textile mill in Hardcastle Crags in West Yorkshire reflected in its millpond. This is the water that would have turned the waterwheel to power the factory.
Built in 1805, it was one of the first cotton mills of the industrial revolution. Until then, most weaving took place in people’s cottages, and the idea of a ‘factory’ was relatively new.
Men, women and even children worked in the mill, some as young as ten. The mill produced cotton cloth until 1890.
Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas!

The Sunshine Coast is on the very west coast of the Canadian province of British Columbia, and opens to the Pacific Ocean. While on the mainland, it can be accessed only by boat or float plane. This photograph, taken during a recent visit there, is of the harbour in the iconic west coast town of Gibsons Landing.
