The Mill On The Rye by netkonnexion

The Mill On The Rye

This is an old watermill on the Rye, a large park in the centre of High Wycombe. It is called Pann Mill. It is open on only three working days a year when volunteers open it and mill flour for the day. You can walk around, buy flour and watch the old wooden and stone machinery working. Great fun!

I caught it in some lovely yellow, early morning sunlight, and made a picture while I could get this lovely light.
