If I had lived there through this, I think I would have just up and left too. That must have been horrible to live through and to basically lose your sense of normality.

Great gallery Mr. Motts, and the panorama is a fantastic idea and great to look at. I agree with you, TootUncommon. How sad that in the USA these buildings are still standing in ruin. (Of course, the whole event was horrific, seen on TV here in Canada of people dying in the streets and arenas and being left there covered in blankets, of people with no food, etc.)

I agree with Mike. I love this gallary, though I would like to see more insides of the houses if you have them. You show such destruction and beauty all in the same picture...THAT is talent.

Maybe if these structures were demolished and left alone, then in the future as people maybe move back to the area (I know that is a very optomistic thought) then more houses can be built and the Ward will flourish again.

Good job Mr. Motts, but shame on you for making us wait so long. :-P

I have visited the Huy mill a couple of weeks ago and it is now part of a construction site..

I asked a construction worker and they are building a new factory next to the mill.

As the place was swarming with construction workers I was unfortunately unable to sneak into the mill.. (There are also a couple of fences surrounding it)

This.. this is gorgeous. I wish the buildings now had as much vivid detail.

In the house where I grew up, the attic was filled with all kinds of great old stuff, including a WWII gas mask. . . I wanted to keep that in particular, but the whole lot was traded for desperately needed remodelling. . . *sigh*
