Maybe OT.... Not exactly an engine... but....

Before there were engines, there was still motive power from a non polluting source. I'm a huge fan of old Water Wheel powered grist mills and our area is blessed to have a few of them still in operation. We even have one that is water turbine powered, but it's no longer in actual operation.

Today we visited a small town festival in Pickens SC, where the Hagood mill was relocated and restored for regular public display. I almost left the camera in the car, having shot this mill a number of times.  That idea was dead upon arrival as my wife grabbed it and the extra lense, as she exited her chariot.

The day was perfect and with a slight cloud cover, I decided to try for a classic photography trick. By forcing the camera to limit light coming in, and extending the shutter opening to a slow speed, the photos shown below were but a small part of the catch of the day.

Nothing wrong with this. I don't think it is OT in anyway...

Beautiful pictures Steve... care to share the rest?

Eric....
With over 300 shots taken in the past two days.... it's gonna take a little time....(grin).  I'll sort through and see if any of the interior shots are up to being seen. I think I  got some usable shots of a water fall or two that might be interesting too.

With great pictures like that with water power as the the theme and being on MadModder where almost anything is allowed, there is no way that that can be off topic. Personally I could look at pictures like that all day. I hope that you post a few more as I am sure that they will draw lots of views. Thanks for showing them to us.  :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers  :beer:

Great pictures  :thumbup:

I love water mills, there are still quite a few preserved in the UK and running, when we're out and about if we see one we always stop and have a nosey, no two are the same I just love their ingenuity.

Thanks for showing

Stew
