The Dark Satanic Mill

The Dark Satanic Mill
Taken just before dusk at the Old Mill, Langstone Harbour, Hampshire.

To explain the title check out this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_did_those_feet_in_ancient_time

I'm not a religious person, but I remembered the phrase "dark satanic mills" from school and seeing this mill silhouetted against the sky reminded me of it. Once I had the photo it just needed a tweak or two in post processing to get it the way I wanted it. I hope you like it.

And just to think there are some who would like to see this hymn banned, Quiet ridicules and unbelievable.
Good work here Keith, I like how the light has been drawn out through the windows and under the canopy.

A beautiful image. I love the warm glow from the windows and under the cap. Great sky too. I think this is as dark and satanic as this mill gets. Thankfully the ones that belched soot from their tall chimneys have gone too or been converted to less polluting uses. Don't know that things have improved much for the people who used to work in them.

Ooh, good title Keith! I love the red glow from the windows! The colour of the sky is gorgeous and I like the cockerel just getting in the picture. We have both gone for the silhouette theme for today's pictures :) Have a good evening.

No, its not that dark and satanic at all -well not compared with our 'real dark and satanic mills' that we have up here in Lanky. Nevertheless, a great capture taken with feeling I am sure my friend. I rather like that painted sky look too. Well done.

Cheers, Herb

Thanks Herb..............glad you like it even though it's not a "real" satanic mill :-) I was initially going to make a black and white silhouette, but after playing around with it I decided this suited it better.

Lovely sky over this mill, and the inclusion of the silhouette of a weather vane is a nice touch.

Unten in der Mühle brennt die Hölle ;-) Das rote Licht in den Fenstern und unter der Dachhaube machen die Illusion perfekt. Eine schöne stimmungsvolle Aufnahme, Keith!

I am in the Restricted Club, too. Even more so, to allow the young people and the Trump fanatics to party and infect everyone. Gah! ;-o
