Taken of an old grist mill on Purgatory Creek in Buchanan, Virginia. It hasn't been used for years and the building burned about 15 years ago, but the water wheel and part of the structure are still standing. The water trough is still there too, but broken and obviously there is no water running through it anymore.
Probably a stretch for this challenge, but I like the shot.

When the challenge is over I want to contact you to talk about the post-processing. I've been trying to get this kind of contrast in my photos (a series of landscape/barns I've been taking) but I can't quite get it right.
I would like to have scored this higher - it's a lovely shot, although I don't really get the title or much of a too late connection. Most annoying though is that this seems to be over sharpened - uneccessarily too - which is such a shame.
