Can you go inside the mill-buildings? Are they empty or still have some use? Hm. Looks as grey as over here, though it seems the sun starts peeking through. So... to a fun day, Bill :-)
Wow! 1870! That is exactly 150 years before now. And they still look strong and fortified as ever! Stone buildings are not very common here except from the northern islands of Batanes where storms and typhoons shaped the culture there. It was even dubbed as Ireland of the Philippines due to its beautiful stone houses built over rolling hills and seasides.

ReplyDeleteThose old stone buildings are amazing. I hope they get a new life as something else.
ReplyDeleteLovely stone buildings, but there does not seem to be much water flow to power a mill. Is this just the wrong season?
ReplyDeleteThey no longer operate as mills.
