Don, really enjoyed the slideshow. Number 18 was my favourite for some odd reason. I think it was the colours and textures. Although I liked number 7 also because of the different perspective.:)

I enjoyed shooting them. That is an old abandoned mill. These were some outbuildings that are not fenced off. The main building are protected like fort knox. I am working on getting permission from the historical department of the city to let me in to photograph it. They are in the process of cataloging everything in it and removing the historically important items. I hope I can talk them into letting me go with them on their trips.

Daniel Pratt (industrialist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He moved further up the creek, bought 1,822 acres (737 ha), and built a permanent cotton gin factory in 1838. He founded the new town of Prattville for the workers in his venture. This operation quickly became the largest producer of cotton gins in the world, and Alabama's first major industry.

It was still producing cotton gins until about 5 years ago
