Clifton Mill, Clifton Ohio
The oldest operating grist mill in Ohio, Clifton Mill features one of the largest Christmas displays anywhere.
Located just off Interstate 70 between Columbus and Dayton, the mill features a fine restaurant and an old-time country store.
But it’s also fun in the summer with the millrace and water driving the large millstone.
It was a hot August day when we visited, and that water cascading down from the waterwheel to Clifton Gorge below certainly looked inviting.
Although this started as a digital photograph it required painstaking editing to transform it into the artistic version here. Because the gorge is so narrow, keeping contrast and lightness in the gorge while also keeping color in the sky and the mill itself required reworking.
This is a limited edition print.
The Longaberger Basket
The Longaberger Company headquarters is a basket, arising on the east side of Newark, Ohio.
As a long-time Newark resident, it was always amusing to watch visitors heading east on State Route 16 east of downtown. You can’t actually see the basket until you top a crest on the expressway and there it is. Experienced local drivers know to watch for brakelights as visitors try to figure out this big basket looming on the edge of town.
Getting an interesting image of the basket isn’t as easy as it sounds. While it’s tucked away along the side of an expressway, trees and traffic obscure much of the view.
