Big Otter Mill

Post by PFMcFarland »

I took the Olympus 35RC with Fujichrome Sensia 100, and the Zeiss Ikonta 524/16 with Kodak T-Max 100 on a loop drive from Bedford, VA to Glasgow, then back to Roanoke. On Rt. 122 north of Bedford, I came across this mill that is being restored.

PF, that's a lovely old building. Is it haunted?

Pretty fine design on that mill. And the Olympus RC made it stand proud, with some help from a skilled photographer. It's a fine candidate for restoration from the looks of it.

Could be, Benny. Who know how many times someone fell into the works.

Thanks, Bill. It is in the process of restoration. I tried to crop out safety netting and orange cones when I could.

That's a lovely looking old mill, shot with a lovely old camera operated by.... ;-)

You'll have to pop back when the mill's all done now.

Good thing you stopped with the "Lovelies" when you did, Paul, or you'd have wasted that third one.
