This is Lanterman's Mill, a working grist mill owned by and located within Mill Creek Metroparks, Youngstown. Acquired in 1891 when the Park was created as Ohio's first public park district, it's now on the national register of historic places. I took this film image in 2001. Technically, it's not the first time I photographed the mill, but it's the first photo of the mill that I printed and sold. I have since photographed the mill, which I drive by almost daily and hike by often, at least 25 more times (you can see several of those images in my gallery). The mill is probably my single most photographed subject, and I sell prints and cards of the mill taken in all seasons, but this remains one of the most popular versions. Nikon F5, 17-35, GND.
Edit: It just occurred to me that the mill is not a "natural subject," so maybe this does not qualify for the WC theme, but the falls is a natural subject, and the falls itself, with or without the mill, is "a favorite natural photo subject."
