Mill Lake, in the center of Abbotsford B.C. rarely freezes over in the winter, so a unique opportunity to enjoy the extended snowfall this winter (2021 - 2022) with Mount Baker, Washington in the background.

Located not too far away from me is this nice historic mill. Sits on Whiteman's Creek. I know, a verynot so good name in todays culture. HDR image brings out the colours.
Happy Window Wednesday
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.

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.
I photographed this old mill in Brittany, France. Although abandoned some years ago, it is still in good condition. Two things that help keep old structures intact are sound walls, and more importantly, a good roof.

J'ai photographié ce vieux moulin en Bretagne, en France. Bien qu'abandonné il y a quelques années, il est toujours en bon état. Deux choses qui aident à garder les vieilles structures intactes sont des murs solides et, plus important encore, un bon toit.
Went with my daughter and grandson to Parke County Indiana this weekend--and visited some of the covered bridges and old Mills in the area--it was a great weekend--it is so pretty there in the autumn!---ENJOY THE WEEK AHEAD---THANKS FOR VISITING --I WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU A LITTLE LATER TODAY---BUSY THIS MORNING!
Sad to see this old mill in such a dilapidated state. At one time this area would have been home to several families. The area is still farmed and some of the houses have been restored so maybe one day someone will see the potential here.............?
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.
Stanier Black Five 45212 launches itself away from Oakworth on the steep gradient past the mill, with the 10:20 Keighley to Oxenhope on Saturday 11th March 2023. The sound recordist with his directional microphone in the second compartment should have achieved an impressive result!

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
