Seen in Gone With the Wind

[BarryHamilton]

I posted a 'memory' over on FB, and Jim mentioned not remembering it, sooooo, thought I'd share it here.
The Old Mill in North Little Rock, AR. I guess it could go in the cityscape board but it just feels more like a landscape to me.
From the 'memory'.....
"This morning at The Old Mill, North Little Rock. 11-1-15
Solid overcast after the morning's fog had moved on, and it left a nice soft, flat light. The dogwoods provided some nice reds for the scene.
For your historical trivia lesson, next time you watch Gone With the Wind, this old mill is seen in the opening credits of the movie."
Hope you enjoy.

Gotta love how Faceplant "helps" you share memories

I have always liked the images you have been getting from this place and this one is no exception.

Thanks, Alan! That's very kind! It's a cool place but you need some rain to keep the hordes away! If the weather is nice, there's always 100 people there, including some wedding photogs!!!

The comment about the unwashed masses puts some context into why you frequently showed various closeups of that place instead of the grand view on FM years ago.

This is a gorgeous scene. It's been decades since I saw the movie, but I will watch for it next time..

I'm happy that the image has no history in my mind, help's me enjoy it without the movie drama nor the crowds it must attract.
Thanks for sharing it Barry...

Quite a wonderful place and worth seeing it again. Would make a nice movie set, too!

Hey Barry,

Thanks for posting this here, it looked good on FB, but it looks great here!

That is a really beautiful place, and the capture of it is really awesome

Thanks, fellas! I was blessed not only by the drizzly conditions, but the time of year when the dogwoods were in full autumn regalia!
Jeffrey, they shoot a number of local TV news spots and ads here.
Oh, If I remember correctly, the original mill structure was built in 1836!
