A slow shutter capture of the River Brathay as it tumbles down Skelwith Falls after quite severe flooding in this area. Certainly not a spot to loose ones footing whilst taking photographs like this :) A small series of steps and an iron bridge brought me to this island that is a favourite place for selfies in the summer I gather. (A future photo for our HFF group maybe.) We are actually on our way to walk the bank of the nearby lake of Elter Water.

“Skelwith Falls (or Skelwith Force) is a picturesque, moderately sized waterfall on the River Brathay near Skelwith Bridge in the Lake District, known for being easily accessible via a short, mostly flat walk from Chesters Cafe or Skelwith Bridge, offering close-up views from riverside paths and viewpoints, making it a popular, accessible spot for families and walkers enjoying the scenery and the sound of the rushing water, especially after rain” (Google AI overview)
