To avoid the myriad of branches here, I had to assume a rather precarious position over on the side of Mill Falls in Phelps, NY. Plus I took out quite a few small branches over on the right the rudimentary quasi-cloning tool that iPhoho on my iMac has. You can probably seek out the ghost branches if you have too much time on your hands.

This is a beautiful old mill I stumbled upon while exploring. Nestled beside a lively stream, the mill's red brick complements the flint walls of the neighboring building, which I believe is a part of the old town's historical architecture. It's a quaint, picturesque spot where you can hear the soothing sounds of water rushing by and see a glimpse of the town's heritage.
Tin Mill on Uxbridge Brook, Uxbridge, Durham Region, Ontario. This mill dates back to 1860 when it was a flour and grist mill. It made Merry Wives Pastry Flour, Five Crown and White Rose Bread. It was once powered by a water wheel which was at the back of the mill and when the Uxbridge brook was much deeper. The millrace ran from the Centennial Park pond. As with most of these mills, fire of course had to have its way. The mill was rebuilt in 1920. The mill was turned into a leather goods factory in 1946 and became the town tannery. Another fire ended the tannery business in the 1960s. The current owners bought the mill in 2006 and beautifully restored it by de-charring the original hand hewn beams. Today the Tin Mill restaurant and bar are located in the building and the décor hints at its mill beginnings everywhere. I had lunch there and the food and ambience was a delight. The building was named the tin mill after the recouped tin panels.
The Old Mill is located on the campus of Berry College. Martha Berry also applied her students to the practical side of life, The students built the mill. The grinding wheel produced corn meal
This photo was in a collection of family photo's. On the back it says Bennett's Mill near West Elkton, Ohio. There was a mill called Bennett's Mill near Miltonville, Ohio but that's about ten miles from West Elkton. I'm not sure if this could be that mill. Also in the early 1800's I had family that owned land next to Bennett's Mill in Miltonville.

This was my 2nd shoot from yesterday. Met up with this great local band, Say Uncle to shoot some promotional photos for them. We first tried a spot outside but it became to rain more than what we'd like so we moved inside this old, old, old textile mill.
For those outside of the NorthEast....Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island are completely littered with the reminisces of textile and button mills. It was all dark in on the third floor except for the modeling light like coming from the beauty dish. It's always a great time with these guys. Be sure to check 'em out.

There is not much left in the village of Cedar Point. No stores, a few deserted houses and an abandoned school. It is a great place to visit to view the historic old mill. I'm using some paint technique on this image - view large to see the details!
I hope the week is going great for you!

An authentic reproduction of an old water-powered grist mill, this striking structure appears in the opening scene of the classic 1939 film Gone with the Wind and is believed to be the only building remaining from the film. Built in 1933; designed to look old so it would appear as if it was built the 1800s. The park is decorated with sculptures of toadstools, tree stumps, and a tree branch-entwined bridge that connects the mill to the rest of the park. Senor Dionico Rodriguez, a sculptor and artist of Mexico City, was responsible for all the details of each piece of concrete work made to represent wood, iron or stone, as well as the designing of the foot bridges and rustic seats. The Old Mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Spinningdale is a hamlet, in the Parish of Creich, on the north shore of the Dornoch Firth in eastern Sutherland, in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies 5 miles (8 kilometres) northeast of Bonar Bridge and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.
"Dale" is possibly from the Old Norse Dalr, meaning 'valley' but more probably from 'Dail' a Gaelic word for meadow or field and commonly found in placenames all over Scotland. It was referred to as "Spanigidill" in 1464, the pronunciation of which bears a close resemblance to modern Gaelic.
The A949 road, the old A9 before the 1991 opening of the Dornoch Firth Bridge, passes through Spinningdale.
Notable residents
James Robertson Justice, British actor, lived in a cottage in Spinningdale for sixteen years from 1954 to 1970.
It just sort of goes together!
We have many traffic circles #inBend. I love them. They minimize traffic backups by keeping traffic moving. This helps to minimize pollution with less idling. Traffic circles are also much safer than signaled intersections (crashes in traffic circles are generally low-speed affairs that involve minimal damage).
For those of you who aren’t familiar with traffic circles, here are a few things to know:
1. The traffic in the circle has the right-of-way. If you are in the circle, please don’t slam on your brakes to let someone in. I know you think you’re being considerate, but you may cause a crash. Just keep moving and exit at your exit.
2. Speaking of exit, USE YOUR BLINKAH! A traffic circle is an intersection, so using a turn signal is required by law. It’s OK just to use your right signal to indicate when you are coming out of the traffic circle. Using your left turn signal while in the circle is ridiculous. We’re all turning left.
3. If you are on a bike, TAKE THE LANE! The city installed stupid ramps and arrows that try to force bikers onto the sidewalk. This is dangerous for the biker and for any pedestrians. Just take the lane and use the traffic circle.
The full Moon tops Old Glory above the three towering smokestacks in the Old Mill district of Bend. The two outer stacks were built in 1922, while the center one was erected in 1933 as part of a thriving lumber mill that processed Ponderosa pines from surrounding forests.
I had to scramble a bit to get to the right location for this alignment, as the Moon came up farther to the left of the stacks than I had planned for. After already being set up for the shoot, I quickly collapsed the tripod and headed for a hill across the street. This was actually a better location anyway because there were some trees in the foreground that provided a "frame" for the smokestacks. That's part of the fun of getting a prized shot -- making fast decisions and changing plans as needed!
This 1830 gristmill now anchors a complex with a restaurant specializing in southern home cookin', a general store and pottery, candy and toy shops.
Once a quiet Appalachian community, Pigeon Forge is now primarily a tourist destination, a change that came about in the early 20th century after the Great Smoky Mountain National Park’s establishment brought about the building of new roads and bridges and an influx of visitors. Pigeon Forge is also the childhood home of country singer Dolly Parton, who has since invested much of her estate back into the city and surrounding areas, which is why many of the attractions bear the musician’s name. In 1986, she opened her own theme park called Dollywood in Pigeon Forge and, fittingly, Pigeon Forge holds an annual Dolly Parade to act as a yearly homecoming for the icon.
