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.
LR Enfuse on a 3 image stack. Used a -2.3 and +1.6 to get shadows with lots of detail. This area was the final stage of the milling process- known as the wash floor - machine shaken flotation tables here recovered the copper. Copper sand came in from the holes in the floor above. Waste sand was flushed away down a "launder" to the lake.
The mill was built by or for one Edward Berry. It was marked with a circle and the words "Old Windmill" in 1886 by the Ordinance Survey, so the tower has stood untended for well over a hundred years.
The previous owner said that "the mill only worked about twenty-six years when it was burnt down. This dates the mill before 1850.
The Mill was restored during 2006 and 2007 and is now a self catering holiday home.
Similar history to the Coldwater mill, built in 1833 for the Ojibway First Nation, then later bought back by setters. Ceased operation as a grist and flour mill in 1950, but continued as a feed mill until it closed in 1995. It's foundations are now sinking making restoration impractical, some of its machinery has been moved to the Coldwater mill and will be incorporated into that museum.
Klepzig Mill is not much to look at with its various accouterments and modifications-- cement spillway, scrap metal hinge from the hood of a Model "A" Ford truck, old corrugated iron roof. Still, it is in aspectacular setting, surrounded by the rhyolite rock of the "shut in" canyon made by Rocky Creek. It is a lasting testament to the hardships of every day life in the Ozarks in a time not so long ago.

"Mabry's Mill was originally constructed in 1905 by Ed and Lizzie Mabry. It was in operation by 1908 and was used by many in the region who brought their corn to be ground.
The mill had a lack of water power, earning it a reputation as a "slow mill," but because of this, the mill would not grind too fast or scorch the corn, which resulted in the Mabry's mill being known for producing some of the finest tasting corn meal in the region.
Ed would eventually construct a sawmill and woodworking shop alongside the grist mill, and a number of the tools he used in the shop were powered by the waterwheel. He would also go on to build a nearby blacksmith shop.
Ed Mabry passed away in 1938 and the National Park Service purchased the property from Lizzie. The Park Service completely restored the facility in 1942 and continues to preserve the area as a celebration of the rich culture of Virginia's Blue Ridge.
The mill still stands as a unique symbol of the region's heritage and has attracted visitors from around the world."
This charming cottage dates from 1821 and is located on a bend in the mill stream in the Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter in Gloucestershire. The mill and its water wheel can be seen In the background on the opposite bank of the stream.
A photograph taken on a beautiful frosty morning a spot I love to visit for sunsets during certain months. This morning I decided to try a shot set much further back as it was sunrise which lent to having the sun cast soft morning light from the left over towards the mill.

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.

This Mill can be seen on the road from Waxham to Horsey but not an easy place to get to. Sunset is the best time to photograph but parking a car to get to the Mill is not easy. I had to park it in Horsey Mill carpark and walk down the mile or so to get to the Mill. Wellies, waterproofs and a torch are high recommended to get there. The torch for the return journey back to Horsey as you have to walk by the side of a busy road.
A last look at Mill Pond before winter sets in. The boats and dock are in and the light really was nice on the maple tree. First ice happened the next morning. I look forward to being there in the spring.

Heavy clouds on Midsummer holiday in Sweden this year. But the rain stayed away for most part.

(I made a previous edit on this shot a couple of weeks ago. Then the look was a bit aged.)

"Eventually, Why not now?"
According to the artist's publisist, Sara Sterling;
"Gold Medal flour, its workers, machinery and the Milling district of Minneapolis were highlighted by Swiss light artist Gerry Hofstetter.
Minnesota was added to the "light Art Grand Tour USA"
The artist travels the world "transforming monuments and landscapes into light art sculptures for a short moment in time as a way to highlight their history and importance to the world"
The light show also illuminates the friendship between Switzerland and the United States.
Woodchurch Mill in Kent. Sadly the sails were removed from the Mill some months ago, I imagine for restoration.

Mingus Mill is a historic and active Mill, located just a short distance past the Oconaluftee Visitors center in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Both the mill itself and the land surrounding the mill are beautiful. The current mill was completed in 1886, and was one of the most advanced mills in the Smoky Mountains due to it’s use of a steel turbine design. The Mill was the largest in the Smoky Mountains, and served over 200 families. Some of the families would bring their corn and wheat for more than 15 miles to have it ground at the mill.
