Sepia Scenes

scan0013-1

This is a photo that my mother took a long time ago.  We used to drive up in the Smokey Mountains several times a year, and this is an old mill that is somewhere up there.  I scanned this photo and tried to manipulate it in Sepia, but nothing looked as good as the original.

Old mills are very interesting. And the perfect subjects for sepia toning. Have a good week.

This is a look of a distant era, with original wood siding and a paddlewheel that looks odd as it is not turning. A stunner with the old photograph shade of sepia. Nice!

I doubled clicked the picture. It has so many lovely details worth a thorough study.
It also has an immediate sepia mood. Old, rural days.
The wheel is lifted up so the running water doesn’t reach its shovels. Hence the stand still.

Interesting photo of the old mill and a great choice for sepia.

I like how the water is moving but the wheel is still.

Happy Sepia Scenes ~

I’m impressed. I had a mill up this week too. Water mill for you; stamp mill for me. I love it when I twin with someone.

What a fantastic shot, and a great historical shot as well–your page freezes my computer so I’m not sure I’ll be able to visit so sorry :(
