The beautiful Glade Creek Grist Mill at Babcock State Park in West Virginia. I was really hoping for a wintry scene. It was snowing heavily as I drove along I 64, but as I approached the state park the skies cleared.

Mill Shoals Falls is located behind the Living Waters Ministry on Hwy 215 midway between US 64 and the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina. Mill Shoals and two other waterfalls are located on private property but the owners graciously allow visitors on the property. Please be respectful of it.
This is a very scenic location. It you turn 180 degrees from this view, you'd see another waterfall that branches out from the same stream. It's a beautiful location but given that it is in open sky, photographing it almost always requires a quiet and cloudy day.
Thanks for viewing my photos. Comments are always welcome.

West marsh wind powered drainage mill at Somerton in east norfolk uk, the sails were removed long ago.
There are many variations of these drainage mills across the lowlands of Norfolk.
They were used to drain the marshes in winter in order to extend the grazing season for the cattle that used the marsh.
They date from the 18th century and some were still in use in the mid 20th century.
The windmill tower seen here was built sometime between 1760 and 1774. The tower is more than 7.5 metres (25 feet) high and has an external diameter of over 3.5m (12 feet).
The mill stopped working in 1927, for the next thirty years it stood idle with only a brief period of use a Home Guard post during the Second World War.
In 1958, the mill was renovated restoring the stonework, fitting a boat-shaped roof, new doors and new sails.

This is a photograph of the "famous" Mabry Mill in the Blue Ridge Mountain area. We were fortunate to be there just as the fall colors were appearing.

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.
Although called a Watermill, it is more correctly denoted as a compressor station, which used a water turbine to drive an air compressor, and was originally built with a horizontal wheel. The compressed air was then used to power other machinery or tools.
The building is built on a mining claim named "Lost Horse", it fell into disuse in 1917 when the Sheep Mountain Tunnel mine closed.
I spotted the Crystal Mill while browsing in search of new rural houses to build and it caught my eye.
For the first time, I built two blocks of rocks and a waterfall made from hundreds of 1x2 trans-clear plates. Many other builders have tried their hand at this type of build so thanks for inspiring me.
The story goes that an old gold digger* accidentally discovered the now disused Crystal Mill, and immediately decided to live there isolated from the rest of the world. One day an explorer** on a small boat while sailing on the Crystall River came across the old shack...What will happen when the explorer and the gold digger meet?
*Mainly based on the CMF Prospector (Series 12), without a doubt one of my favorite Minifigs.
**Probably the explorer was part of Jhonny Thunder's Adventures team ;)

Houghton Mill, near St Ives in what used to be the county of Huntingdonshire, is the only working watermill left on the River Great Ouse. The present Grade II*-listed building probably dates from the 17th century and was substantially altered and extended in the 18th and 19th centuries.
In its mid-19th century heyday the mill ran 10 pairs of stones powered by three separate waterwheels. Much of the internal machinery remains intact although the wheels were removed in the 1930s when the mill stopped production. Today, corn is ground by a pair of millstones powered by the north waterwheel which was re-instated in 1999.
Houghton Mill is owned by the National Trust.

An abandoned mill sits on a steep slope high in the Panamint Mountains.
For someone like me, the first instinct is to think of Death Valley National Park as being mostly-wilderness, and then to associate that with the idea that it is a place of little or no human presence. In truth there’s virtually no place in the world without some human presence… and there are many examples in this park. They range from the evidence of long-ago native populations and their descendants who still live in the park to the rather astonishing number of sites related to mining. No matter where you go in this park., you are bound to see these things.
In the latter category is the site of Skidoo, where there was once a real town and lots of mining and ore refining… in just about the most unlikely location imaginable. It was high in the desert mountains, far from any current paved roads. The ruins of the water-powered ( an astounding story too long to relate here) mill sit on a steep hillside, overlooking a remarkable expanse of rugged desert terrain that extends to the distant peaks of the Sierra Nevada.

Back in the height of Milwaukee’s train heyday, there were three lines that met here: Milwaukee Road’s Superior Subdivision (center bottom), Chicago Northwestern’s Shoreline Subdivision (top) and the Ozaukee County Interurban Line (left, out of frame - now the Interurban bike path). On the MILW, this was called Mill. On the CNW, Canco. Now, over half of the tracks are gone or unused and the height of up to 100 trains a day has been reduced to 0-2 a day between both lines.

“Carew Tidal Mill, also called the French Mill, is a corn mill in Pembrokeshire, Wales, powered by tidal water. It was built around 1801 just west of Carew Castle, and replaced a much older mill in the same location. The mill pond fills through open flood gates as the tide comes in . "
