Gresham Mill, Canton, Georgia © Doug Hickok
Gresham Mill, amid the suburbs of Atlanta, seems like a Depression era time capsule preserved for modern eyes. Not far from a busy interstate highway, it is a reminder of who we once were, and how dramatically times have changed, even within recent memory.

You've gotta admire our pioneer forefathers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great house.
ReplyDeleteLove thewarm, nostalgic feel on this - even though I'm well aware of how hard times were back then.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find Doug! Such an air of nostalgia! And this is an unexpectedly charming way to remind us of the depression era!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and perfect place to live. Peace and quiet and I like it.
ReplyDeleteremarkable shot - looks like something out of a Steinbeck novel
ReplyDeleteI would spend some time there! It is a wonderful place. I like the stream bed and the tall trees. The mill wheel is also nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful composition; I like this view, with the old car and the mill. Fantastic sunset light!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
But are we really happier? Beautiful (evening?) light.
ReplyDelete4th attempt at proving I'm not a robot. Sooner or later I won't have that patience anymore!
Such a find, Doug!
ReplyDeleteI love calm and beautiful places like this. And the car is my favorite here ;)

Great picture Doug!
ReplyDeleteFantastic light and composition!
Many greetings and have a nice weekend!
Yvonne & Raphael
Excellent shot! It looks like a time capsule, just like you said. Nothing modern in the photo at all. Very nice. This would probably look great in a black and white version too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful capture Doug!
ReplyDeleteanother 'time capsule', doug! even though i wouldn't want to live in circumstances like our forefathers (neither in austria nor in america!), it's good to see that places like this have been preserved and have been devoured by surburbia ...
ReplyDeletehope you have a nice weekend !
Very well chosen title for the post and the pic is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

Wow what a find - a fascinating time capsule of those bygone days. I love the lighting and the old truck adds a wonderful finishing touch. A brilliant shot.
ReplyDeleteGosh I love the earth tones throughout this image; they're broken beautifully by some lovely cool tones too. Just fantastic and really well shot.
ReplyDelete· Also here are time capsules. Back to the past is to know how much we have improved.I like your photo.
I see you have the word verification. It is annoying and serves no purpose. Perhaps you might consider removing it.
