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.

• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

I do like this, lots to see and all the wool fits well with the theme. The fisherman after the wooly fish is a great touch.

So cute, and I love the water fall!

I moved the mill to the Atchafalaya Swamp in Louisiana. I thought it was a saw mill, and could be used there to mill the last few remaining ancient cypress trees....

[Leslie Moak Murray]

Wow!

[Trevor.Dennis]

I can hear the banjo playing.

[@mj]

But their ancient. Please don't cut them down!

[Jill_C]

I know! The remaining stands of old growth cypress are protected on ~1 million acres of state land, but not everywhere. However, due to how the waters are managed in that area the magnificent groves that once existed on this vast swamp will never regenerate. Another example of permanent destruction caused by man's dominion over the earth...

So sad

A great place for the mill, Jill. Nicely done!
