I guess the real prize of our hike was seeing two Chilean mill stones, or wheels, left over from the gold mining operation at this location.
The idea behind this type of mill is that a machine was composed of two rotating wheels, revolving over a pan filled with gold-bearing rocks, which in turn, would then crush rocks so the gold could be extracted.
This link will take you to some Google photos of mills.

Salts Mill opened in 1853 as a textile mill.
It is now used as an art gallery displaying the works of David Hockney.
In 1815, William Fleming, a young Scottish immigrant, built the first mill, which would later become the issue of a long trial with the Sulpicians, the seigniors of the island of Montréal. Miller Fleming built the present-day mill in 1827. He innovated by building an imposing Anglo-Saxon type mill, unique in all of Québec. Although it stopped being used around 1891, the mill was summarily restored by the Burroughs Wellcome firm in 1930. LaSalle acquired it, as well as the surrounding land, in 1947. Classified as a historical monument on January 13, 1983, by Québec's Ministère des Affaires culturelles, the mill was restored in 1990. An interpretation centre and a country theatre now welcome the public every weekend during the summer.(Description source: city of Montreal website)

Alport Mill on the River Lathkill. Previously a healthy stretch of river, a hydro power scheme has robbed the river of vital flow, destroying the native flora and fauna.

Built in 1873 this mill was used as a cotton gin, then a woodworking shop. Today it is use as a grist mill for cornmeal and grits. The waterwheel is 32 feet in size and the sound it make while turning is almost like a low thunder.
It is a working mill

Another from one of my favourite local spots to walk the dog, the ruins of the 19th Century Cheesden Lumb Mill near Rochdale. The bright sunshine made the colour version super boring, so tried monochromatising it :D
Happy Friday everyone, it's a beautiful day out there (here anyway) :)

This is a small collection of photos of feed mills that can be found in the downtown of Petaluma. Petaluma's skyline is scattered with these mills that give our small town character and reminds us of the history of our city.
We went out to the city tonight to eat after my sister's graduation. It was one of my first chances to really get to use the Rokinon 85/1.4 for personal use. I love the bokeh on this lens! It has nice rendering,and it is really quite sharp wide open.
It's been a while since I have uploaded (about a month). It's because my computer broke. After about three weeks I purchased the Dell Latitude E6230. It's pretty awesome, and so much faster than my old computer. I stitched together 10 photos in 50 seconds; awesome!
Hope you guys have a great weekend! I'm out of school now, so photos should be more regular.
The old Washburn Mill A, maker of Gold Medal flour. Now the Mill City Museum, telling about the importance of the wheat flour industry to Minneapolis for about 100 years.
Second upload of this panoramic shot after a few subtle adjustments in Lightroom, definitely prefer this one after comparing the two.
The other version now deleted.
A very famous mill at Skidby near Hull. It's tricky to get a good view point of the mill. I found a good spot in the children's play area where I used a climbing frame as a tripod !!!
A watermill probably stood on the site of Lode Mill at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086. The Mill which stands today is likely to have been built in the eighteenth century.
In 1793 the mill was described in a sale notice as 'Anglesea Watermill with dwelling house, yard, garden, barn, stables and outhouse and 3 acres of pasture adjoining'. Old photographs show the house next to the mill. The house was taken down in the renovation of the 1930s.
In about 1900 the mill was converted from corn grinding to cement grinding. The cement was generally made by firing a mixture of clay and lime or natural chalk at about 400°C and grinding the resulting clinker into a powder.
An engine may have been installed at this time, as inside the mill today there are some shafts, gears and a chain drive that are unusual in a watermill.
The mill was owned by the Bottisham Lode Cement and Brick Company. Bottisham Lode is the stretch of water below the mill, one of a number of lodes that were used as a transport link to the River Cam. The water above the mill is called Quy Water
Built 1907 by the Hartford Mill (Oldham)Co Ltd. Extended 1920 and 1924. Closed 1959 and used by Littlewoods as a mail order warehouse until 1992.
Architect was F W Dixon, there were 120,000 spindles and power was provided by a very impressive 1500 hp Urmson & Thompson engine.
After years of neglect Oldham Council have managed to get it de-listed by English Heritage and the demolition team moved in in less that a week. Another bit of local history lost for ever.
DCR grid 56103 passes through Slitting Mill with 6Y85 1015 Chaddesden to York. Not the best light, but better than it was a few seconds earlier! 31st October 2014.
A view of our house from across the pond. Taken near Thanksgiving Day last year after a fresh and heavy inch or two of wet snow. This is where I do the majority of my bird and insect photography. Such a great variety. I have been trying to document all the species of fauna here and compile it in a photo album for future generations. It is a project I can hopefully continue for many years to come. Mill Pond has been nurtured and protected by my wife's family since 1949. Yes, I feel very lucky to be able to spend time here. I love this place. So does Weezer.
