Warm afternoon light
Reflects in the still waters.
Peaceful and calming.
I found this house on a recent walk along the river Derwent in the Peak District, at Calver, Derbyshire. Apparently it is called Shuttle Cottage, and used to be a sluice keepers cottage in the 18th Century. It originally housed the machinery that controlled the sluice and water flow into Calver Mill. The mill, a former textile mill, relied on this water flow for power. And now you know.
