An autumn carpet
Amber against summer green.
Two seasons in one.
This is not two photos merged, it was actually like that. The dead pine needles covering the river bank, and still dying on the branches, whilst the deciduous trees were in full leaf. Another image from the walk along the River Derwent. Glad I took my camera.
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.
