Today's Best Shot comes from Shooler Mansfield of Chapel Hill. "I took this photo in a warehouse that contains some of the old equipment on which historic North Carolinian cotton textiles were made. I think that this shot serves as a testament to a previous era in our states history, and a reminder of our heritage."
