Power plant door gleams in cold sunlight
On the banks of the Huron River, in Ann Arbor, the wind felt like it was straight from the Arctic. The clouds that had followed us from Chicago were breaking up, but not until they’d dropped a bit of snow overnight.
The first mill on this part of the Huron River was built in 1833, and the adjacent millpond eventually served a flour mill, a woolen mill, a paper mill, and other industries. The “new” hydroelectric station, shown here, was constructed in 1914.

Thanks, Ken. I was gone nine days; this was nearly the only day the sun was out, and I was glad to see it. For photographic reasons, of course, but also because all those grey skies were getting to me!

Nice windows! Great tonal range in this shot too. I like that line leading into the white door, which is a bit like an opening of some kind (not a closed opening, but a brightly lit beyond).

When I was lining up the shot, I thought about this one – http://bit.ly/11TqaUD – so it’s interesting that you commented on the line leading to the door….

Funny, because I was thinking of that shot when I commented on this one. Kind of stuck in my head.
