A Step Back in Time

West Point on the Eno in Durham, NC

I made my second trip out to West Point on the Eno yesterday. I shot this one after chatting with a couple of the folks who work and volunteer at the park on the weekends. They were very hospitable and I walked away knowing the story behind the West Point Mill and also having a better understanding of grist mills in general.

I was surprised at just how much the whole building vibrated when the mill’s machinery was operational. My D200 and tripod were visible moving when I was capturing my bracketed exposures, but fortunately the photo turned out nice and clean.
