I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. BURNT_080824_011.JPG: History at Burnt Mills: You are standing on the location of the Robert B. Morse Water Filtration Plant Complex which has played a significant part i the history of suburban development and economic growth of Montgomery County. The original water filtration plant was built on the site of the old "Burnt Mills," a grain processing facility that once shipped its products over most of the East Coast of the United States. For many years, the Burnt Mills filtration plant was the first of its kind in the world and the scene of much experimentation and original technological progress. Created by Chief Engineer Robert Brooks Morse, the design has since been employed for cost effective development of community water plants in many parts of the United States and in foreign countries. In 1924, a temporary filter plant was erected at the site of what later became the Burnt Mills filtration plant on the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River. When the plant was finally completed in 1936, this "temporary" facility was handling 3.6 million gallons of water a day. The Burnt Mills filtration facility was closed and dismantled in 1961 when the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission opened a regional water filtration plant on the Potomac River. The builders were converted for office use and soon after ownership of the dam and acreage along the stream valley was transferred to The Maryland-Nati9onal Capitol Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) for inclusion in the Northwest Branch Stream Valley Park. M-NCPPC acquired the remaining buildings and acreage in 2000. When the plant was dismantled in the early 1960s, some traces of the old mill were still visible.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
