"" The Snowflake Mill""

[New England Moments]

Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley was born in Jericho, Vermont and remained in the town throughout his life (1865 – 1931). He was an American farmer who through his love of photography found that every snow crystal was a masterpiece of design that was never repeated. He is famous for his saying “no two snowflakes are alike”. Bentley photographed over 5,000 snowflakes and sold some of his glass plates to Tiffany for jewelry designs.

Jericho’s Old Red Mill was built in 1855 by Mr. James Hutchison for approximately $20,000 dollars. It is now home to the Jericho historical society. The lower lever contains original milling machinery and products from the original water powered mill. Snowflake Bentley’s photography equipment and precious mementos are on display in the mill as well.

Wow.

Stunning view, light seems perfect, not many dark shadows I'm guessing you used the dodge tool in some parts.

Just one remark the Mill seems to be leaning a tiny bit to the right, no trouble at all it would be very easy to strait it up.

Well done, very nice picture and interresting fragment of history.

Looks good -- but could use a counterclockwise rotate of 1 degree. Other than that I like it. I wish we had flowing streams and trees like that around here.
