Here's a picture.

The picture isn't really related to anything, but it's a nice picture. You'll soon have better pictures. I'll do what I can to facilitate that.

Anyhow, where I live is an unincorporated township - but it wasn't always this way. Many years ago, there was a sawmill. There was a town that grew up around that, but they never incorporated.

In the 1930s, the whole area went up in flames and like 80% of the houses were destroyed in the fire and the vast majority were simply abandoned soon after, as "Maine Wood Turning" (soon to be known as Maine Dowel) moved to Farmington, Maine and opened up shop there. The two mills closed down and one was torn down.

One still remains and it's got old-timey belts and giant honking saw blades that are like as tall as me! It's not safe to go in there.

There's all sorts of abandoned stuff and old cellar holes, all across the valley and on this mountain. Once upon a time, like 500 people lived here! There's all sorts of roads to go zooming around on and the land was all owned by the paper company. Those roads are even private and stuff - and some of 'em have been maintained and are still in use today.

Which might help explain some of the images.

Pic sort of related - in that it's one of the farms that survived and still exists. It's across the road. It is delicious.

(This was gonna be a response to @owlchemy but I figured it'd explain it better for everyone.)

Anyhow, there's all sorts of neat archaeology. There's cellar holes, old timey cars, and nifty stuff. I ain't even gotta go very far to find something nifty and beautiful.

That might explain why, exactly, I have... You know... Old Mill Trappings in my pictures.
