Klondyke Mill was an ore processing mill on the edge of the Gwydir Forest, near Trefriw, north Wales.
Constructed in 1900,[1] the mill was built to receive lead ore (and some zinc ore) from Pandora mine, some 2 miles away – with which its history is inextricably linked – this ore travelling along a tramway which followed the eastern shore of Llyn Geirionydd. The mill saw little usage; Pandora mine was never profitable after construction of the mill, and the mine ceased operation in 1905. Klondyke mill itself closed in 1911 after having a short succession of optimistic owners.
In the 1920s, the mill achieved notoriety as the scene of an elaborate money-making scam, when investors were sought for the Klondyke mine, which was allegedly rich in silver. It is this scam which gives the mill its current name; during its years of operation it was initially known as Geirionydd Mill, then as the New Pandora Lead Works.[1]
Today the mill lies in a ruined state, a tribute to the false optimism of the time, and is believed to be the largest upstanding building associated with lead mining in north Wales.[2] It is a registered ancient monument [3][4] and, despite its state of disrepair, is under the guardianship of Cadw, the only mine structure in the Gwydir Forest to be so designated.
Wade's Mill in Raphine, VA. The mill was built by Captain Joseph Kennedy ca. 1750, and operated by the Kennedy family for about 100 years. The mill was bought by James F. Wade in 1882. The mill's "workings" are much like they were when Wade operated the mill. (info. is from the Wade's Mill website)
Mill Spring, MO
That's what they call it. It's a deep, deep hole full of blue, blue water, and we found it with the help of an occasionally-accurate guidebook called Missouri Roadsides.
This waterfall can be seen next to the West Point Mill in Durham, NC. Thanks to the surrounding dense foliage and the dusky time of day, I was able to set the camera to a nice long exposure setting to really get the motion of the water. I wish I could have also recorded the sound of the waterfall as it was so tranquil.
The mill race that supplied water to Gambrill Mill from a dam on Brush Creek no longer exists, but this pond still holds water just below the old mill building.

La Mille Miglia è emozione, passione, tradizione, eleganza e leggenda. La gara riservata alle auto d’epoca costruite tra il 1927 e il 1957 giunge quest’anno la sua 35ª rievocazione, che coincide anche con il 90° anniversario della prima edizione della corsa nel 1927.
Dal 1927 al 1957 piloti più o meno famosi si diedero battaglia su strade aperte al traffico, il suo tracciato negli anni fu modificato per ben tredici volte. La corsa inizialmente fu concepita come gara unica (non a tappe ma a cronometro) con un percorso a forma di “otto” da Brescia a Roma e ritorno, su una distanza di 1000 miglia corrispondenti a 1.600 km circa.
La Mille Miglia è un patrimonio d’eccellenza italiana e bresciana, è identità legata anche al Garda e alle sue bellezze. Desenzano è infatti la prima tappa della sua “folle corsa” e il legame della nostra città con la Mille Miglia parte da lontano: affonda le sue radici nell’epopea del Reparto Alta Velocità e nel record di Francesco Agello.
Non a caso, Desenzano è diventato il punto di partenza del “Ferrari Tribute to Mille Miglia” e del “Mercedes-Benz Mille Miglia Challenge”.
Il programma della Mille Miglia 2017, dopo la partenza della prima tappa da Brescia, prevede il primo equipaggio davanti al porto di Desenzano per le 15.15, lì i concorrenti effettueranno il controllo timbro. Contestualmente al passaggio della corsa, dal 16 al 21 maggio, è stata allestita in Galleria civica “G.Bosio” una mostra fotografica dedicata al pilota Tazio Nuvolari e alla Mille Miglia storica. Inaugurazione martedì 16 maggio alle ore 12.
Anche quest’anno, ad ammirare Desenzano del Garda, e tutte le altre magnifiche località sul percorso, oltre a circa milleottocento operatori dei media, ci saranno migliaia di appassionati provenienti da tutti i continenti, a conferma dell’internazionalità della Freccia Rossa. La promozione del territorio attraversato dalla corsa più bella del mondo, delle sue bellezze, delle tradizioni e dei suoi prodotti ha sempre rappresentato uno dei primi obiettivi della Mille Miglia.

I have no idea what this was for... I read the little placard but I don't remember. It's a mill thing.
The Graue Mill is a water-powered grist mill that was originally erected in 1852. Now a museum, it is one of two operating water-powered gristmills in Illinois (the other is the Franklin Creek Grist Mill). It is located on Salt Creek in Oak Brook, Illinois, owned by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County and operated by a nonprofit preservationist group.

A stone mill from Oaxaca, and used by Taza Chocolate the same way it is used back in Mexico. The mills grind the cacao nibs into a grainy paste.
