Alice Mill Fire

Well if you're not from RI, you probably didn't hear about the mill fire in Woonsocket this past week. Steph and I had gone out for a walk the night the fire started and saw big black clouds of smoke, and 3 or 4 fire trucks rush past us. When we found out what was going on, we really wanted to go check it out, but didn't want to get in the way (especially since we heard the police were having a hard time keeping people away). So instead we went the next night, and couldn't have had any better timing. The sun was setting over the remaining brick walls and below are the resulting photos (and a few of the neighboring mill). So enjoy!

really amazing shots! i hope no one was hurt. Was it a run down mill before or was all the wall fragments a result of the fire? either way amazing shots!
