A photograph to help place the picture and description of the weir (see previous, and below) in context.

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.

Nikon D50 + Tamron AF Zoom 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens. The foreground was picked out with the aid of a Minolta Close-Up Lens No.1 screwed into the filter ring.
