| In 1857, William Fraser Chisholm bought the mill site property on the banks of the Moira River. At that time, it consisted of a flour/feed mill and a sawmill. Since then, six generations of the Chisholm family have been involved in the lumber business in Roslin, Ontario. ___ |
 |
| The old mill (a rebuild after a 1944 fire) is unused and still remains in the Chisholm family to present day. It has turned in to favourite destination for painters and photographers. ___ |

Indeed a great object to photograph. Pity it isn't in working order anymore. Looks like it can start again.
ReplyDeleteI like very much the choice of framing and the movements of the water. The other offer beautiful textures
ReplyDelete...WOW, another must see spot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these photos! I've always loved these dam old mills. But what really got to me is that according to my DNA I'm related to a large number of people named Chisholm! I never knew that. I wonder if these Chisholms are some of my Chisholms? Super photos, Andy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place for photos, I like that old mill building.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics, Andy!
ReplyDeleteThat old mill certainly is photogenic. Love the way the old signs have been used to side the building. Might think some people would see the warning sign as a challenge. BTW, thanks for your comment on my blog today. It gave me a needed smile.
ReplyDeleteI can see why this would be attractive to photographers and painters. It has that a very nice, rustic beauty.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. What eye candy! It's too bad the family has ceased working here.
ReplyDeleteIt is rather nice, and can imagine a painting being done of the building - even wedding photos, magazine photos and so on..
