Introduction In Stages - My Environment part 1.

Lol, unfortunately I don't have any large Brain Buckets. I have a video up on YT that I will re-shoot, basically this was test footage that all came back blue and had to be reworked to look somewhat normal, but it gives a reasonable impression of what the old watermills are like. See next comment.

This is BRILLIANT. You brought my heart rate down for 6 minutes to a wonderfully peaceful beat (currently a sewage truck outside relieving me of 8 months stench - under the neighbour's 2-doors down- house.... we don't want to know the details.... But it did the trick. You could make a CD with relaxing music alone from this watermill film!

I am dying to know what camera you used.
I loved the minimal narration and short intro that caters perfectly to the genuinely interested. The rest speaks for itself. So well, that I was inspired to re-read The Miller's Tale (Chaucer) now that I have such a vivid idea of the dynamics of such a man's life and nature (heavy work, close to the elements, raw materials, everything churning, quite a lot of noise really for a non-industrial time, but also a sense of power could be derived from operating such an intricate construction, ingenious invention, ultimately feeding the population).

Post and rake in the steem, I'd say.... then again, it might just be too subtle..

Glad to have been of service. The Camera used was a Panasonic DMC-FZ200. The Miler's Tale is a funny one but isn't it more about the Miller's Wife?; "but alas! A Woman has no Beard", haha. I no longer have a copy of Geoffrey Chaucer's work, so no refresher course for me.

Yes, those medieval minds were hillarious. No Chaucer in da house? Shame on you.

Well, it disappeared along with everything in the house in 2015, including the washer, dryer, stove, thermostat, ceiling fans and some of the bathroom cabinets. I couldn't have wished for a better moving crew and I'm lucky they didn't take the House too.

Are we talking burgulars?!? For a sec it sounded like fire. How traumatic. (How thorough.) (Even Chaucer... It boggles the mind. ...Thermostat? Your list is crazy!)

If it happened to me I think I'd give up and live on a futon with one saucepan and a fork. Or move to Nepal to become a nun. Which is illegal, by the way, (they don't hand out visas for that) so pretty rad.

Renters! Real estate agent and a neighbour sent me the pictures; I never went back, there was nothing to retrieve and I wasn't going to clean up the garbage they left.

And waddya know, here was me planning to pack up and rent out! Seriously, off to somewhere the heating doesn't keep on packing it in, because you don't need it, earning your (cheaper) keep (on some - proverbial - beach) from the rent. But you've just reminded me of the "hassle"(putting it mildly).....So it will be selling or staying put, now. Your life experience is having an impact on my decisions already.
