Description

A stunning capture of Mabry Mill along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The most famous Mill ever photographed in the US. I used an HDR effect to bring out the detail and lighting in my capture.
Mabry Mill is a watermill located at milepost 176.2 of Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia. It is a tourist attraction mainly for the picturesque views of the mill itself. A short trail around the mill connects historical exhibits about life in rural Virginia. The trail allows visitors to view the gristmill, sawmill, and blacksmith shop.

Mabry Mill was built by Edwin Boston Mabry (E.B. Mabry). E.B. Mabry returned to Floyd County in 1903 and began the construction of the mill. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then became a sawmill. By 1905 it was in operation as a gristmill. By 1910 the front part of the mill was completed and included a lathe for turning out wheel hubs, a tongue and groove lathe, a planer and a jig-saw. Between 1905 and 1914 E.B. Mabry bought adjacent tracts of land, mostly for the purpose of acquiring more water power. 1

During peak seasons, demonstrations of crafts are given by National Park Service volunteers at Mabry Mill.

Darren - congrats on all the features! What an awesome capture of this Mill. I thought it looked familiar, I've seen it in brochures. I will have to check it out this year when we make our drive out that way. Great lighting, love the reflections, and love the earthy tone to it. Very nicely composed! L.
