Something for the Weekend - Part 232 - Through the Mill!

[davescm]

Hi,
We had some great entries to our last, 'Cutting Edge' challenge. Thanks to all who took the time to create those images.

This week we are off to the River Wear at Durham, where we find this old fulling mill. Fulling is a step in the process of making woollen cloth. The building dates back to the 17th century although there are records of a watermill at the location even before that. In 1833 it became a museum and part of the university of Durham. It is a timeless and tranquil scene. What can you do to liven it up?

The “rules”:

• Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
• Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
• Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

Is it just me or has Gen Fill's understanding of anatomy gotten worse?

My ancestor John Jenney had the first grist mill in America, and it's now a tourist attraction in Plymouth, Mass:

History

John Jenney, a Pilgrim who arrived in Plymouth in 1623 on the ship Little James, erected the original grist mill in Plymouth in 1636.

Quite some legacy there @Leslie Moak Murray. Tnx for the share.

[davescm]

I like these little offshoot stories. Thanks for sharing Leslie.

That's fascinating Leslie, and I just read the article on John and Jenny who arrived in 1623.

I can't help but wonder if they ever crossed paths with my ancestors Arnold and Christine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Arnold_(settler)

"[Arnold] immigrated to New England with family and associates in 1635. He initially settled in Hingham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but he soon relocated to the new settlement of Providence Plantation."

We are descended from their oldest child Elizabeth and not from their second child who shares a name with his infamous great-grandson.

Wow, you never know! Wouldn't that be neat! Also congrats on not being an Arnold haha

I believe you can actually buy remote controlled shark fins to scare your friends with.  

Yep. There's loads of videos.  I love how this lady makes sure she gets some footage of her little boy being eaten by a shark for her Instagram page.

[fbeaume]

Haha!

[davescm]

But without the music is it a swimmer chased by a shark, or a very long tailed mermaid? 🙂

[derekwatson]
