Well done Greg!  I tried to get in to see this but the weather was too bad and my wheels too wide.  It's on my bucket list, but in the meanwhile, I will enjoy photos like yours.

Thanks all, for the comments. Two rows of 6 portrait format shots bracketed 3 frames each comprise this shot. 36 frames in all using a 17 mm lens. I felt any darker in the shadows would be too dark for an interesting print and any brighter in the sky would be overblown - from an HDR perspective. I took my bicycle the 4 miles up the valley to get there...pushing it most of the way as it was too rough or steep to ride effectively. It was a wild ride back down the valley, on the way out! I shot this at sunrise. I recommend shooting it at sunset as the sun doesn't touch the mill until well, well after sunrise.

I appreciate everyone's feedback. It's good to know what the various opinions are about a shot. If I have time, I'll see if any of the shots contain enough detail/dynamic range to create an image with no HDR  and no overexposed or underexposed areas.
