Photographer's Note

Please open each photo in a new tab for the better versions.
On the road but with good wifi tonight.
Here are some of the workings of an old but still operational water powered mill near Birsay. We were able to see it in action.
In the WS are 2 outdoor photos at the mill.

Hello Ian,
How nice to see some kind of machinery that's not remote controlled and digitalized. I could almost understand how this works. I love the walls and yellowish roof shown in the WS.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Ian,
Good details shown inside the wooden mill from a close-up focal.
Ancient technique indicate how people use to employ nature forces for their benefit.
Good afternoon,

Hi Ian

The motion blur of the moving parts clearly shows the old mill is still operational. Good sharpness, lighting and tight framing. Tfs!

Hi Ian
A good series of images of what could be of a bygone age but good to see that it is still operational.

Hello Ian
What a nice souvenir of my childhood on the country side!
My grandfather took me by the hand for a tour of an old steam machine-operated flour mill. I was mesmerized by the array of pullies and straps in action through the dusty and noisy faintly-lit premises!
In this picture, looks like the scales blower was spinning since I can't see a neat image of the wood vanes inside he housing.
Thanks for this nostalgic voyage back in time masterly captured in available light!
Hava g'day.

Hi Ian
A good detail indoor shot revealing the workings of the mill showing its charming old machinery that I always find this fascinating. Great light, well handled throughout where we can see a sense of its age in natural colours. Excellent shot of an interesting subject matter
Best regards

A good close-up pf this still working mill. The light was good as well and shows the details and textures of the wood very well and clearly.

Hi Ian,
so you are on the road and posting travel photos but from another trip :)
I thought it is quite ironic although I fully understand it, I also prefer to sit down at home after coming back from a trip and select the photos first prior to sharing them.
Quite an intriguing machinery, it goes well with recent photos uploaded by Fis2.
Great reportage,
M
