My cousin John moved to Durham about 3 months ago. He's a really talented photographer, who has a portfolio worth dreaming about. He really likes taking shots of old mills, and fortunate for him, North Carolina has a lot of mills. Until he got here, I wasn't big on photographing structures. I've taken a few shots of light houses and things like that, but mills honestly weren't on my radar. Well, he's got me hooked. This mill is at a city park on the north side of Durham. There are a number of 1900-era structures on the site, but for my money, this still-functional mill is the crown jewel of them all.

I like the mill picture best of you last 3. The only thing that could make it better would be to have water flowing.
Yeah. Unfortunately, it only operates on weekends.
This is a great shot. I love the rustic feel of it. There's so much character in the old mill and you have caught it. Super job. Love, Ma
Great lines...
Strong horizontals....
interesting curves...
The classic structure shot sometimes has a person dressed in a red jacket at a critical location in the shot...hey I've got a red jacket..;)
I'll try to send the local shots again... I don't see how to do an attachment on gmail...

Dad, I think you nailed what I like about this shot. Lots of geometry in the shot. Straight, strong lines are the artistic part of this shot, and then the curved wheel makes it interesting.
Thanks for commenting.
