One more of the millhouse, this one shot in the spring, early evening sun. My favorite photo.

Thank you all for your very kind comments. This is "The Old Mill House" in Midway Village Museum Center, Rockford, IL.
It is located (or was re-located?) next to a pond in the museum center, and it was early enough in spring that they had not yet started the pumps to run the water to turn the waterwheel, so the pond was still enough to give the great reflection.
The late afternoon sun cast a very warm light on the old and graying wood siding giving them the lovely warm hue. I was there that day shooting some graduation pictures for someone, and I shot this quickly while waiting for them to put on their cap and gown. I'd love to say I planned all of this out, but it was just dumb luck and spontaneous, as many of my best pictures are!
Thank you all again!

This is the best grist mill picture I have ever seen! Outstanding work. Where is it located? Looks like a cool place to check out.

I love fall pictures I used to oil paint them many moons ago
