Wednesday Window – pt 18

My inspiration for this week is the snowfall that we had over the past weekend. Even though it was just a couple of inches, it made for a tricky driveway clean up, as it was wet and heavy snow. In my search for some more snow-inspired images, I went back to a number of New England mills that I photographed over the years.

In 2009, I came across this during a February day…

Frosted Mills

This detail from one the buildings in Northbridge, Massachusetts, just caught my eye with its takeover by Nature in multiple ways. Vegetation knows how to take over any area that is not tended by us, humans. It leads the unstoppable advance that will take place no matter what.

Let’s embrace Nature and nurture her, as she inevitably embraces us.

This is my mid-week contribution to the Monday Window thread, a creation of Ludwig Keck. To read more about Ludwig, check this page.

      Brian, there’s nothing like wading through the snow to find a hidden gem 🙂

    THat window is almost covered with snow – Usually I see that only on cars. The vines probably hide it during the warm part of the year. Neat!

      Thank you!

      I found it interesting for exactly that reason. The vines helped trap the wind-blown snow to get this effect. These old mills make for interesting subject matter.

      Have a great day!
