Grist Mills & Covered Bridges

Grist Mills & Covered Bridges of the Eastern United States From Missourri east to Conn, south to Florida. Grist Mills hold a special place in my heart. When I am out traveling I will drive hundreds of miles out of my way to visit a mill. There are so few of them left in a country with a history of thousands. I will photograph each mill in Color, B&W and Infrared as I never know what I will get and the fact that I am at the mercy of the sun position as well as the time of day when I arrive at a mill. If the mill is extra special I will locat a hotel and spend an extra day with it! I have created a DATABASE of Mill and Bridge Lat/Long in the form a a GPX file. You can download this file by visithing my Photographic Educational BLOG at http://www.markhilliardatelier.wordpress.com and navigate to the BOX window on the RIGHT SIDE menu column. By clicking on the name of the file you wish it will then download to your desktop. This file can be directly downloaded to most of the car GPS units out there. You will need the software for your GPS (get it from your GPS web site) then you will be able to place the waypoints of these mills and bridges on the GPS!

If you look at the image of Gresham’s Mill above, pay attention to the leaves of the trees an the rock under the flume. I was looking for a very impressionistic interpretation of them and the Van Gogh filter provided just enough to please me!
