Through the Camera Lens
Recently, members of the Lunenburg Photo Club visited the old Mill Building on the Lunenburg waterfront.
The Mill was one of the original shipyard buildings. All of the frames and timbers for the ships built here were cut and planed using the equipment in the Mill.
Here are a few of the photos from the shoot.

Thanks to Lunenburg Photo Club members Peter Zwicker, Donna Veinot and Elizabeth Klass as well as Gerry Rolfsen for his photos.
