I learned of Hyde's Mill from looking through some local flickr groups, and I knew I just had to shoot it. After looking it up in Google Maps to figure out where it was, I made a plan to head out there early one Saturday morning. I thought the mill was on the north side of the road, so I expected some nice lighting conditions. I arrive, and it's on the south side of the road. D'oh! So I grabbed my new polarizing filter to try to bring color back to the sky (the sun is just over the hill). That seemed to work, so I grabbed a bunch of shots from all different angles. As it turns out, the first angle I chose was by far my favorite.
On my way back home, I stopped at various locations, when something caught my eye. I got to see some bald eagles, enormous hawks, and cool countryside. But in the end, this mill stood above all else for the best of the trip and month.
