Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Travel and Culture Gallery, week ending 30th November, 2012!Trying for a little different view of this mill. There is really only one view to shoot this mill since it is private property all around (it is for sale though :lol: ). Part of me doesn't like the obscured spillway, but there is no way around it to shoot an angle like this.

A larger version may be viewed here.

Nicely done, Ben, and good to know you're still kicking. :) Haven't yet made a trip up north to your neck of the woods, but intend to do so soon.

This works. You took what you had and made a nice composition, and the balance of snowy light tones and earthy warmer dark tones works well. Nicely done.

Very nice -- what does a good used mill sell for these days? :)

Very picturesque and I love the nostalgic mood here.

Thanks all!


Tom, yes, I am still kicking, just always too busy. You should have come up for fall colors at Pewits. I might know a guy that knows the place. 8)

Gary, no clue what it going for. Need a new hobby? :mrgreen:

Sure Ben, I figure charging photographers a buck a click would be a good source of income year round. :mrgreen:

Nice image, Ben! When was it shot? The water level looks a lot higher than when I was there this fall...
(My eyes keep getting drawn to the red branches in the foreground, but I can't decide if that's a feature or a bug... :D )

Re: for sale: They're asking something in the $200-250K range - I don't recall the exact amount. That includes the mill, dam, land on both sides of the creek, and a 3 BR house. I was thinking it could be a good investment property - I could charge photographers admission to take photos from other vantage points - but then I realized how much liability insurance I'd need to cover intrepid photogs like Ben and decided against it... :lol:
