Sad find in the land of sugar.

Excellent work.

I've seen those before. Nice shot and find!

Even though there's a lot of sugar cane growing in Florida (south of Lake Okeechobee) I've never seen anything quite like that. A superb photo for "Abandoned"

Nicely done the picture with those silent witnesses, the clouds give it a melancholy touch... Irene

So have they been left to rot away on their own? They look like they might last a while longer

Mieke WA Minkjan		03-Feb-2014 06:23
always sad to see industrial decline, but I must admit they give great photo opportunities too

Perfect for the challenge. They stand like two ghosts over the landscape.

Wonderful find. v

Well done for both challenges.

I like the pairings of these abandoned structures against the cloudy sky. A kind of forlorn and evocative scene. V.

I do believe that my cousins worked for this Mill. One of them invented something great in the sugar industry and developed it in Sugar Land.

Fascinating to see this old site. A terrific and rather moody shot. V

Don Mottershead		02-Feb-2014 21:18
Very moody image. Well done.

Are they surviving on the borrowed variety? I think local people will look back on this and remember those times.
