A three-span non authentic Stringer truss 151' 5" over Mill Rock Creek. Located: Northeast of Zingara, Georgia on Haralson Mill Road. Construction of the new bridge at this site was necessitated due to the planned raising of the water level of Big Haynes Reservoir, that, at certain times of the year would have inundated the roadway. It replaced an authentic historic covered bridge.

nrhp # 74001423- Gaston's Mill-Lock No. 36, Sandy and Beaver Canal District- Gaston's Mill was built by Samuel Conkle around 1837, on land that was then part of his father Jacob's farm; the land came into his possession in 1843 after his father's death. Conkle employed the mill with a wide range of grains, including corn, wheat, oats, and buckwheat.[6] In 1849, he sold the mill along with the land and water privileges to James Gaston. The mill is named for Philander Gaston, James Gaston's son, who owned the mill longer than any other owner. The mill was water powered until Gaston sold it in 1886.[4] Subsequently, the source of power changed to steam and then to gasoline. The mill was in operation until World War I.[7] At its peak, the mill produced nearly 200 pounds of flour per day.

Bale Grist Mill, Calistoga, California. The mill is one of only a couple of working wood-age "Evans" mills in the US.
LYTHAM MILL,
LYTHAM St ANNES, LANCASHIRE.
Lytham Mill was built in 1805 and was designed to grind wheat and oats.
On 2nd January 1919 high winds spun the sails out of control despite the brake applied, sparks ignited the woodwork and fire quickly ravaged the mill causing the mill to be burnt out.
2 years later squire John T Clifton donated the gutted building to the town, the shell was restored given a new cap and mock sails.
The plinth surrounding the mill was added later for safety reasons.
In 1951 the mill was designated a grade 2 listed building, and was finally restored fully in 1989 by the Fylde Borough Council and opened to the public.
Next to the Mill is the old Lytham lifeboat house. Lytham lifeboat is synonymous with the "Mexico Disaster" on 9-12-1886 in heavy seas 3 lifeboats (1 from here 2 from other areas) rescued all 12 of the crew from the 400 ton German barque "Mexico" which had ran aground on the sand banks around the Ribble estuary near Southport.

Fallgate Mill at Ashover is an ancient corn mill, dated 1781 but incorporating earlier structures, that continued in use until the 1950s, latterly used for crushing fluorspar. It is listed Grade II and has recently been converted to a house although it still incorporates the gearing and stones. John M Else was the miller in 1891.
The building seen at the rear was a power station built by the Clay Cross Company in the 1920s to provide electricity to the nearby limestone quarries.

Almost two centuries ago, the Mill began serving the communities of Sevier County, Tennessee from the banks of The Little Pigeon River, providing much needed meal and flour to the early settlers there. It still does. Originally, Pigeon Forge was named for the passenger pigeons that frequented the area when it was settled in the late 1790's.
In 1820, Isaac Love established an iron forge as the community’s first business. The name Pigeon Forge is a combination of the iron forge and the Little Pigeon River. In 1830, Isaac’s son William, dammed up the Little Pigeon and began construction of the first building of what has become the Old Mill. He used 40-ft long, "14x14" Yellow Poplar logs which are still clearly visible today.
Huge river rocks have served to support the Old Mill during all these years. In the early days the mill was the heart of the community and served as a gathering spot for the villagers. It is still such an attraction today, not only for Pigeon Forge, but also for the Great Smoky Mountain National Park area itself.
Today, The Old Mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and just as in the 19th century, it's still one of the most popular places in the Smokies and one of the most photographed mills in the country. Ten million plus yearly visitors pass through Pigeon Forge

The mill, owned by the Joseph Barron family for almost a century and now owned by MaryJane Butters, is the only intact flour mill remaining on the Palouse.
The J.C. Barron Flour Mill in Oakesdale, a
gorgeous three story structure, was built in 1890
and by 1891 the railroad shipped 2 million bushels
of wheat per year out of the building. The
flour mill was a pioneer in the whole wheat
industry when health benefits of whole
wheat became widely known and utilized
the wheat grown in the region by local
farmers. The building no longer houses
the flour mill but stands as a beautiful
reminder of a bygone era at the edge of
town.

A mill in the neighbourhood of Petten, near the Dutch coast line. On my way home, after an attempt to take some sunset picture, I saw this mill and just had to stop to take a picture. Too bad there was a lot of wind, as you can see on the ropes at the back of the mill.
In de buurt van Petten Noord-Holland stond deze molen mooi verlicht. Helaas was er nogal wat wind, o.a. te zien aan de wieken en het touw aan de rechterzijde. Dus nog maar een ander keertje terug dan.

Transylvania County, NC
Well, I am still in my archives until we get some better weather.
One of the great things about living in the Great Smoky Mountains is being surrounded by nearby beauty. Just a short drive puts us on the Blue Ridge Parkway and by exiting on NC 215 and heading toward Roseman, N.C. a few miles, is the property of Living Waters Ministries, so we pulled in and asked for their permission to take a few photographs. They are very nice and will allow you onto their property, but please stop and ask.
The French Broad Falls is just to the left of this one. The French Broad River begins in this area.
It was very bright so I had to use a ND x8 filter to cut the light so I could blur the water. Of course, my trusty tripod was also used. There is nothing more relaxing than Tripod Photography.

I do like the reflections thrown up by the water under those arches!
Looks like the black bellied Dipper has gone ... the rill stones have been removed!
