Still wandering through my hard drive clearing space. The Crystal Mill around Marble, CO, was on my bucket list quite a few years back. I had seen many photos of it in camera club competitions, so the SO and I made it one of the stops in our Fall Color loop. It's definitely NOT for the faint of heart - up a steep rough narrow mountain road. But it was a thrill to see it in person finally. So, this image a stack of 3 exposures.
Restoration of Simmons Gap Mill on Ivy Creek along what used to be an old Indian Trail through the Blue Ridge Mountains. The trail later became a wagon trail for settlers traveling West over the eastern range of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The mountains proved daunting for a group of Mennonites, a religious sect practicing modesty and simplicity, who chose to settle here, forming the still thriving Simmons Gap Mission. Since Virginia is on the Atlantic coast, it is sometimes hard to think of it as the gateway to the Old West, but it was.

The Wednesday Night Stalker. This is just two blocks from my home. A quiet sleepy town that is growing rapidly. New housing on the outskirts.
Happy Window Wednesday
I made my annual pilgrimage to the old grist mill on Cedar Creek a few weeks ago. Being there on a cool fall day with all the beautiful fall colors and solitude always makes for a wonderfull outing. The pathway upstream also provides a nice up close view of the stream.
Abbey Mill, also known as Fletcher's Mill, for a former owner named Abel Fletcher, a Quaker who was the inspiration for the miller in Dinah Craik's popular novel, 'John Halifax - Gentleman', published in 1856.
There has been a mill here since 1190, when the monks of nearby Tewkesbury Abbey had a channel dug from the River Avon to power a mill to grind grain. The channel is known as Mill Avon, and extends from the Avon to the Severn at the southern edge of Tewkesbury. The 12th century mill was rebuilt in 1793 with 4 wheels. It remained in operation until 1920, but could not compete with the larger and more modern Healing's Flour Mill, further north along the channel. That mill in turn went out of business.
1979 pencil drawing by Don Pearson of Tulsa, Oklahoma, The Crystal Mill, or the Old Mill is an 1892 wooden powerhouse located on an outcrop above the Crystal River in Crystal, Colorado, United States. It is accessible from Marble, Colorado via four-wheel drive. I was there on a high school 2 week mountain hiking camp in 1972. Returned for part of my honeymoon trip and caught the largest trout of my life in the pool below the waterfall under the mill in 1976.

Morning fog is still hanging over much of the valley near Sprankle Mills, Pennsylvania as the Pittsburg & Shawmut train from Brookville takes empty hoppers to the mines. Fortunately the sun has burned through to the trestle spanning the valley containing small stream called Big Run.
PP In Lightroom NOT HDR.......Various mills have occupied this spot since the first building was erected in the year 969. In the Middle Ages, the mill was owned by the nearby Benedictine Abbey, and peasants were under an obligation to have their flour ground in the mill. Part of the flour was withheld as payment by the miller. When in 1500 the Abbot diverted the river water in order to supply the mill with sufficient power, the neighbouring village was flooded. The villagers rose up in protest, and fifteen years later they were granted permission to change the course of the water in case of an emergency.The present building was probably built in the 17th century, and was extended in the 19th century. In the 1930s, the mill was decommissioned. Local residents bought the building and it was given to the National Trust

Salts Mill rises from the heart of Saltaire like a cathedral of industry, its long stone flanks still carrying the warmth of 1853 when Sir Titus Salt first set it humming with life. Once the largest industrial building on earth, its vast floors held the pulse of a working world; now they breathe more softly, home to art, books, and the quiet drift of visitors wandering through light and history.
The mill, now a Grade II* sentinel, stands as both monument and metamorphosis — a place where looms once thundered and where creativity now settles like dust motes in sunbeams. It closed its working eyes in 1986, only to reopen them to a different kind of making.
And behind it all stands Sir Titus Salt, manufacturer, reformer, and dreamer of better lives. His vision shaped not only the mill but the village that grew beside it — a place built with purpose, care, and a belief that industry and humanity need not stand apart.
The first cotton mills in Belper were built by Jedediah Strutt (1726-1797) and subsequent ones by his three sons, William, George and Joseph from 1776 to 1818. They remained the property of the Strutt family until 1897 when they were amalgamated with other mills to form the English Sewing Cotton Company.
The large fortress-like, seven-storey East Mill (seen here) was built in 1912 beside the River Derwent. All the mills, except this and the North Mill (1804), were demolished between 1959 and 1963.
Pinn Mill is located near to Ipswich in Suffolk on the River Orwell. It is the resting ground for several such boats but it leaves an unanswered question which is how and why do they end up dumped here?
Suffolk was the choice of venue for NOPS photographic excursion 2021.
