Two weeks ago, I was driving to Eminence by way of the scenic route of Highway 19 in south central Missouri, returning from Black Rock, Arkansas on a rock hunting trip. I stopped by Falling Spring Mill just south of Winona, it had been several years since I had photographed it and I thought I would see how it was aging. On the way there, I passed by a few fields full of colorful black and white Jersey cows….

…and then I dropped off down into the hollow where the old mill is located, neat old one story mill with a huge iron overshot wheel next to it and next to that is a waterfall a few feet wide coming out of a bluff behind the mill building….
