Kellaways Weir
The population of Kellaways is very small. It's the sort of place where well-to-do folks live in quite large houses, and there aren't even that many of them. But at this site, accessed by walking along the river bank, there is a weir with a good sturdy large house behind it on the opposite side of the river. I've seen it before from the roadside and admired it. I think this is the site of the old mill, presumably a cloth mill since this area became wealthy on the wool trade.
The occupants of the big house must have the sound of crashing water in their ears all the time. I don't know if that is restful or not.
Anyway, I took a rare excursion into shutter-priority mode to get the water looking like a white mass. I did not have a tripod but I think I got away with it.
Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm lens at 110mm (like 165mm for the same result with a full frame camera). 100 ISO; f/18; 1/15th.
