39. I really really like the stone shell of that old mill, #5...

but the desolation of the one with the sewing machine had to be my final pick...I hear that room.

We had (and used) an old treadle Singer when I was a kid, the poor thing is still sitting out in the summer kitchen on my folks' property, dead quiet now, just like them.

I also loved the remains of that old powerhouse, #6. It was my first choice before I scrolled on down, ha! The coloring of it is what I think is most striking, the moss...besides I'm pretty sure I've been down there to it, if it's the one I think it is, in Oregon. I've always been a nut for viewing old hydro-electric ruins, the rusted generators, the giant transformers, the quiet turbines.

Every one of these are winners, in my book. Impossible choice!
