Mouth of Wilson
"Mouth of Wilson is an unincorporated community in Grayson County in the U.S. state of Virginia, just north of the North Carolina state line. The community lies in the Blue Ridge Highlands section of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are part of what is considered the Middle Appalachian Mountains, on the western banks of the New River, where Big Wilson Creek empties its waters. The main road through the area is U.S. Route 58; other major roads include Virginia Route 16 and Virginia Route 93 (County Line Road).
The name Mouth of Wilson originates from a young surveyor named Wilson, who died and was buried in a creek while surveying the line between Virginia and North Carolina in 1749. The creek was thenceforth known as Wilson Creek, which empties into the New River where the town was established. The first European settler in the region was Robert Parsons, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, who was awarded a grant of 1,600 acres (6.5 km2) from the North Carolina line to Wilson Creek. One of Parsons' nine sons, Johnny Parsons, built the first mill on the creek. The mill was built to grind corn, with a sawmill as an extension. Johnny Parsons served one term as the overseer of the South Fork and New River Turnpike in the Virginia General Assembly. Another mill was constructed in 1884 by Colonel Fields J. McMillan. The community built a power dam in 1930, introducing electricity to Mouth of Wilson.
Oak Hill Academy, a Baptist-affiliated secondary school, is located in Mouth of Wilson. Oak Hill was built in 1878. Rev. W. A. Hash became principal in 1923 and oversaw the accreditation of the school and construction of dormitories, a water system, and electric lines. In recent history, the school has earned eight national high-school basketball championships since 1993, becoming widely recognized for its athletic programs. Most students are boarders, so that the population of Mouth of Wilson increases substantially during the school year." (Wikipedia)

We made most of the long weekend and spent a lovely holiday down in South Devon. Our accommodation was close to Soar Mill Cove so I took the rare opportunity to take some photos at sunset. On the way down to the cove I had to cross a meadow with grazing young bulls. They were quite interested in me and I was not in the mood to be trampled so I initially tried to pass them very slowly. Suddenly some of the youngsters became quite active and started jumping so I lost my nerves and ran downhill crossing a boggy patch on the way - must have been quite the sight. After escaping the wild bunch I enjoyed the magnificent coastal views and took plenty of photos. I especially liked the thrift lining the cliff edge. Because there was such a huge exposure difference between cove and setting sun I used two exposures and blended them together in photoshop.

The original mill on this site was built in 1852 and was destroyed in 1868. It was rebuilt by Thomas McConnell in 1875 who replaced the waterwheel with water turbines This made McConnell's Mill one of the first rolling mills in the country. The mill was closed in 1928.
McConnells Mill State Park is 2,546 acres, in Lawrence County PA, Slippery Rock Township, and is one of the most beautiful parks to visit, so long as you can endure the hiking up, down or through the deep gorge that encompassed it.
The Mille-feuille (French 'thousand sheets'), Napoleon (U.S.), vanilla slice, cream slice or custard slice (Commonwealth countries) is a pastry made of several layers of puff pastry alternating with a sweet filling, typically pastry cream, but sometimes whipped cream, or jam. It is usually glazed with icing or fondant in alternating white and brown (chocolate) strips, and combed. The name is also written as "millefeuille" and "mille feuille".
Nice viewed large.
Oh, when this sunny day happens after a period of pure meteorological sadness and you haven't taken a picture for DAYS ;-)
So I just happened to look up watermills in my area and randomly chose the cedar creek grist mill to check out.
I guess I left a bit late considering the sun was just about to disappear behind the ridge. As you can see by the shadow in the bottom, the sun was about to be gone when I got this shot.
What's left of the gunpowder mill buildings in Roslin Glen geotopoi.wordpress.com/2012/04/12/roslin-
I got up early today and drove to Lewiston, ME expecting to photograph hot air balloons but that never happened as rain was expected. Very briefly the sun shown through some clouds and this is the result. There are several large mills in Lewiston that have not been occupied since the 1950's or so. The one here has been repurposed to be used for businesses. The out of place apartment building was built about 20 years ago I was told by a former resident.

Boland's Mill liegt am Grand Canal Dock in Dublin, Irland, an der Ringsend Road zwischen dem inneren Becken des Grand Canal Dock und der Barrow Street. Ab 2019 wurde es für 150 Millionen Euro umgebaut und zum Bolands Quay umgebaut, einer Anlage mit neuen Wohnhäusern sowie Gewerbe-, Einzelhandels- und Bürgerräumen. Der Standort, der ursprünglich mit Bolands Bäckerei verbunden war , umfasst eine Reihe von Lagerhäusern aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.

Once upon a time at Mannington Mills (Salem, New Jersey)
The Southern Railway Company of New Jersey had the F7A 727 on the point of the freight to Swedesboro. Prior to chaising the train I spent the time with engineer John Rieck and his trainee conductor on the GP9 100, spotting and picking up cars at Anchor Glass.
The 728 parked in the stub track was unserviceable. Both F-Units were of Bessemer & Lake Erie heritage.

I first learnt about this mill on a BBC programme called "Restoration". Since then I'd often wondered where the mill was as I drove through the village, usually en-route to somewhere else. This time however I stopped and had a good look around and was left feeling rather staggered by how obvious the mill and it's famous leat actually are. This was a long exposure shot using an ND1000 filter.
Different conditions this weekend, so after the rain passed, I re visited the canal tow path for a similar view of the mills in Saltaire but in very different light. I had hoped for larger puddles to capture reflections in.
Water Mill.
Whilst Pakenham’s water mill was actually built in 1831 (some sources claim it was built earlier) however it was not the first mill on the site as it replaced a Tudor mill which was recorded in the Doomsday Book.
In 1846 the miller Clement Goodrich began to pass on his knowledge to an apprentice who he had just taken on board.
The Bryant family in 1885 took ownership of the mill where it remained for several generations.
Restored in 1950 by Amos Clarke a millwright from Ipswich who fitted a new weatherbeam to the mill.
Grants from the Suffolk County Council and the Ministry of Works enabled further restoration works to be carried out in 1961 and was subject to the condition that the Bryant family were to keep the mill operational.
A lightning rod was added to the mill following a near disaster in June 1971 when it was struck by lightning and damaged a sail. The mill was saved from destruction due entirely to the fact that the sack chain provided a route for the lightning to earth and thus avoided further damage.
A lightning conductor was added to the mill when the mill was repaired to avoid a repeat.
The mill remained operational until 1970 and has remained in the Bryant family where it underwent further restoration work in 2001.

Mabry Mill
Blue Ridge Parkway, VA
From my 2010 archives.
Mabry Mill is my favorite Grist Mill and one of the most photographed places on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The mill was operated by E.B. Mabry from 1910 - 1935. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then a sawmill and then in 1905 a grist mill. By 1910 the front part of the mill was completed. If you would like to visit Mabry Mill, it is located at mile marker 176.2.
