Hi everyone,

Today, we are flying above a building that has been here for centuries and was a working place until 1910 - In ruins, it was restored by some volunteers recently.

Nestled in the hollow of Berno's cove, the mill stands as a silent witness to a maritime past. On this winter morning, the brilliant sun illuminates its old golden stones, while pure light casts sharp shadows on its centuries-old facades.

The still waters of the retention basin shimmer under the crystal-blue sky, creating a natural mirror where the stocky silhouette of the building is reflected. The few seabirds gliding above the pond occasionally break this peaceful scene with their solitary calls.

This tidal mill, an ingenious remnant of our maritime heritage, recalls an era when humans perfectly harnessed the power of the tides for their daily needs. Even today, despite its silent millstones, it continues to mark the landscape with its authentic presence, between land and sea.

Enjoy the flight and the winter light,

Matt

Even today in the NE USA the tides are strong enough to be be used for power production. It's always amazed me that it hasn't been put to green energy use along the coast.
