Millstones Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Millstones or mill stones are used in windmills and watermills, including tide mills, for grinding wheat or other grains.

The type of stone most suitable for making millstones is a siliceous rock called buhrstone (or burrstone), an open-textured, porous but tough, fine-grained sandstone, or a silicified, fossiliferous limestone. In some sandstones, the cement is calcareous.

Now it is very popular design element, but hard to find.

Hello Jurgita,

This was a good idea.
The repetition of the shape and the texture of the stones is very nice.

However, in my opinion, the focus should have been on the first wheel as the one in the f/g looks to have got in the way of the others. Also, a step to the left might have given a slightly better angle from which to view them.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
