Another revisited shot from last August taken at Thorrington water mill near Colchester in Essex. Had a smashing sunrise that morning which I would have preferred shining onto the mill but I am still very happy with this shot all the same.
One hundred years the mill has stood:
One hundred years the dashing flood
Has turned the wheel with roaring sound,
Through foaming waters, round and round.
One hundred years: and overhead
The same broad roof of blue is spread;
And in the meadows, bright and green,
The miller's children still are seen.
And thus the world is still the same:
The sunset clouds are turned to flame;
And while we live, and when we die,
The lark still carols in the sky.
And others rise to fill our place;
We sleep, and others run the race:
And earth beneath and skies above
Are still the same; and God is love.
"The Old Mill" ~ John R Eastwood (c1896)

Pictured here is a view of Mill Neck Manor as captured during Long Island's peak fall foliage season. This private manor is a gorgeous Tudor Revival mansion that is located on an 86 acre estate. It can be found on Long Island's North Shore along the Long Island Sound.
The manor itself is two-stories, has over 34 family rooms, 16 bathrooms, along with several guest and service rooms as well. The outside of the building is made from granite blocks that are trimmed in limestone. ​The Initial designs and construction on the manor began back in 1922, and was originally known as Sefton Manor.
The manor was later purchased by the Lutheran Friends of the Deaf back in 1949, and today serves as the home for the Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf. This institution is dedicated to empowering both deaf and hard of hearing individuals, and works to provide students with the tools necessary to be successful despite the challenges they face with respect to hearing.

The Elora Mill dates back to 1833, built by William Gilkison, a Scottish Naval Captain. Glickson purchased the area along the shores of the Grand River. He originally wanted to build on the South side of the River but dynamiting through the thick limestone proved too much. Due to this, the construction was moved to the north side of the Grand to the location that the Mill stands today. The building was enlarged in 1859, after a fire. The building has been used as a saw mill, flour mill, woollen mill, distillery and now a high end hotel, restaurant and spa.
Place Mill is a Grade II listed Anglo-Saxon watermill located a short distance to the south of the Priory on Christchurch Quay. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book and features a mediaeval stone base underneath red brickwork. The mill belonged to the Priory but stopped working in 1908 and stood derelict until purchased by the council and restored in 1981. It is unique in that it takes water from one river (the Avon) and spills it into a second river (the Stour). A millstream is supplied from the Royalty Fisheries near to the Electricity Museum behind Bargates, and flows for nearly 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the mill between the Avon and the Priory grounds before joining the River Stour. A mediaeval Grade II listed bridge known as the Place Mill Bridge crosses the millstream nearby.

C&O 614 hustles through Highland Mills, NY with a westbound Hoboken to Port Jervis excursion. 614 powered a series of main line excursions between 1996 and 1998 that featured unassisted 79-mph running. Sadly, 614's operating career was cut short after 1998 and it has since wound up as a display piece at Clifton Forge, VA...an unfortunate end to a locomotive with a rich history.

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.
Boland's Mill is located on the Grand Canal Dock in Dublin, Ireland on Ringsend Road between the inner basin of Grand Canal Dock and Barrow Street. As of 2019, it was undergoing a €150 million reconstruction to become Bolands Quay, a development of new residences and commercial, retail, and civic spaces.[1] The site, originally associated with Boland's Bakery, includes a number of 19th century warehouses.
Looking out over Pleasley Vale Mills, with Pleasley Park Woods in the background. The Mill Pond is to the left and the new white building stands on the Site of the Mill Owners House.
Pleasley Vale Mill, a textile mill, located to the north east of Pleasley Village. William Hollins & Co Ltd began in 1784 at the Pleasley Vale, the factory there became the first establishment in the world to take in raw cloth material at one end of the factory and sent out the garment, ready for sale, at the other end. William Hollins was established at The Pleasley Vale site for three basic reasons: 1. Water supply 2. The trees in the valley maintained the required humidity levels, and 3. The closeness to the main highways of the day. Labour was difficult to recruit due to the remoteness so a workhouse for child labour was established. Two mills were built but both mills burnt down in 1840's. The mill buildings in this photograph were built in the mid 19th century and replaced the earlier burnt Georgian buildings. When they were re-built, steam driven machinery was introduced. This mill later developed the Viyella cloth. They won large contracts from the government to provide cloth during the Second World War. William Hollins & Company still manufactures clothes under the Viyella brand. The Hucknall, Nottingham-based company is a subsidiary of Coats Viyella.
Llynnon Mill, at Llanddeusant Anglesey was built in 1775, and is the only working windmill in Wales producing stoneground wholemeal flour using organic wheat.
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.
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.
17C corn mill on the River Stour at Sturminster Newton. Still stone grinding bread flour using water power to this day.
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.
A view of old Hammond Mill in rural Ozark county Missouri, taken in 2007 on an overcast winter day. This old mill was converted to a residence a few years back and was still occupied the last time I was in the area.

Canon1DX-2 with 300mm 2.8 prime lens
This camera and lens are a phenomenal combination as you can see......there is very little grain in the picture and at f/5.6 the set up has managed to apply focus throughout the picture. This, in my opinion, is down to selecting, in camera AF point expansion in this case 9 points.
If you're wondering about the settings, why f/5.6, why ISO 6400 well this is because the light at that time was dull and to stop the subject in flight requires fast speed. In hindsight, the f-stop could have been 6.3 or even 7.1 or the ISO 5000 producing a shutter speed of around 1/3000 sec but you go with what feels right to you the button presser and hope for the best. One other thing to consider is exposure the bird has a large amount of white about it, so I have underexposed by 2/3rds of a stop.
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.
It seemed like depiction of some kind of traditional Korean machine (probably traditional water mill).
Mabry Mill in southern Virginia is one of the most photographed locations along the Blue Ridge Parkway. This photograph was made on October 5, 2011 and processed in HDR.
