Rockingham Ruins Revisited

I was here a few months ago, but didn't have the time to really explore this site.  This week, George Holt and I found some time to go on a photo excursion.  


Once you get down amongst the ruins, they are pretty impressive.  You can really appreciate the scale and architecture of the once impressive structure.  With the Kudzu in remission, it was easy to navigate in and around the buildings, but the undergrowth is very dense and can easily trip you up.


I think the waterfall that once powered the mill was the highlight of the day.  It is a beautiful cascade that flows out of a narrow opening in a retaining wall down between the buildings.  The weather was overcast and threatened rain, but I had a great time spending the morning exploring.
