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.

My second visit to the Mill Pool near Beeston Castle on a much brighter day !
Heavy clouds on Midsummer holiday in Sweden this year. But the rain stayed away for most part.

Converted to BW with Silver Efex Pro II.
(I made a previous edit on this shot a couple of weeks ago. Then the look was a bit aged.)

Even more enjoyable when cycling along the riverbanks in search of these treasures. . .
"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.
Info taken from blueridgemountainlife.com/mingus-mill/ where much more can be read concerning this wonderful history.
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.

I couldn’t resist the reflections on the mill pond at Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.
The War Eagle Mill was built on War Eagle Creek in 1832 by Sylvanus and Catherine Blackburn as the closest mill to grind their corn being located in Richland, 25 miles away.
In 1848, a heavy rainy season flooded the entire valley, and the mill was pushed into the river, washed downstream, and was totally destroyed. When the water receded, Sylvanus and Catherine rebuilt the mill and expanded the structure to mill lumber in addition to milling grain.
War Eagle Mill is the only working mill in Arkansas, and it is still powered by an eighteen-foot cypress waterwheel. It is believed it to be the only undershot water wheel currently in operation in the United States.
Preston Mill is a watermill on the River Tyne at the eastern edge of East Linton on the B1407 Preston Road, in East Lothian, Scotland, UK
There has been a mill on the site since the 16th century. The present mill dates from the 18th century and is in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. It was used commercially until 1959, and it produced oatmeal. The River Tyne still drives the water wheel, and the machinery can still be seen at work by visitors taking part in a tour. There is also an exhibition about milling, and a mill pond.
The engineer and millwright Andrew Meikle maintained the mill in the 18th century. In 1948 a flood submerged the buildings, and in 1950 a local land owner gave the mill to the National Trust for Scotland. The milling firm Rank Hovis McDougall provided help with the renovation and expertise to allow the mill to be operative again.
Preston Mill consists of a kiln, a mill, and the miller's house. The mill wheel dates back to 1909. The mill is loved by visitors, painters and photographers, especially the kiln with its conical red pantile roof. (source Wikipedia).
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.
The Kings Mill Reservoir site covers 31.8ha including a lake, marshy reedbed, woodland, grassland and has the River Maun running through it. The Reservoir has been designated as a Local Nature Reserve.
The main vehicle access is off the A617 Mansfield to Newark road. There is a carpark and café which is run by Strawberry Fayre. The site is well used by local people and is owned/managed by Ashfield District Council.
The reservoir provides recreation facilities such as The Mill Adventure Base, Sailing (only boats from Sutton Sailing Club or the Mill Base are allowed on the water), Angling (NAA members plus day tickets), Bird Watching (about 200 species recorded), Walking and Cycling. There are occasional public events.
There is a "Friends" group who work with Ashfield Council staff to create a clean, pleasant and interesting amenity for local people and to promote an interest in nature conservation.
Although Kings Mill comes under the Reservoir Act 1975 it is 'not for drinking' water. It's purpose was to provide sufficient head of water to power a succession of working mills; the last of which was cleared for housing in the 1970s.
The building in the background is Kingsmill hospital.

Although lived about 4 miles away from age 5-18 I'd never visited this mill. Some 50 years later I turn upon as a tourist with a camera :)
This is the "other" side of the Glade Creek Grist Mill at Babcock State Park in West Virginia. With all of the snow, we had the place completely to ourselves today. What a difference from last Fall when there were people everywhere.
The "Blokker", a wip mill, pierces through the mist at sunrise. A mill has been standing on this spot in the Kinderdijk at least since 1542. The current windmill most likely dates from 1633 and was restored after the fire damages from 1997.

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.
