I was captivated by the textures and the rustic architecture at this old mill off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd county, Virginia.

  1. the rustic charm you have captured in these pictures remind me of my grandparents farm many years ago; beautiful

  2. How intricate the stone work of the chimney. Such an even, level pattern made up of stones of all sizes fitting together with a sense of ease, as if they had just slid in there.

  3. I love those ‘old’ buildings, now retired and left sitting to weather, keeping their secrets. It’s wonderful that they can be captured on film before time (or ‘progress’) completely destroys them.
