A different shot of the same old mill in my desaturated picture of yesterday. This tower mill has been restored and is being lived in. I think it is near or in Burton in The Wirral. Anyone know?

Here it looks quite different - No haunted house look! Against the grey sky the red tower looks striking.

Wouldn't it be fun to live in there! Lots of exercise climbing the stairs. I love the perspective of this shot.

I found some really old photographs of mills but none of them look exactly like this one, so I expect it has undergone some restoration at some time. There is a mill at Burton called the Tower Mill - maybe it is that one! nice capture again Lyn! I like this one even better as you can see the whole structure!

I'm with Owd Bob on this one. I waited a considerable amount of time to view your and others' pictures this morning. Perhaps it was a good sleeping day!! This is a nicely done pic of this place, and of course you know I don't know a thing about it, just that I'm enjoying the view :)

Wonderful work on this old mill. That is some technique you have applied and it looks so good. Great colors too. The tree branch is a good foreground element in this image too.

Eve,
I really like the dramatic atmosphere of this picture of yours. Also I find that the texture on the mill conveys well the idea of age. Compliments,
Rob

I just got to look at your other one and I must say I like this one better. The perspective and clarity are fantastic! A very dramatic and impressive image, to say the least.

A very striking and dramatic image. The colour of the brickwork and the strong shadows are a powerful combination. I like the careful complementarity of the frame too!

Very dramatic. I think the color of the brick is most impressive against the monochrome background. Great angle that you chose as well.
