The weir at Settle
Just at the edge of town here, is the old weir of Bridge End Mill, in flood conditions! Normally one can see the top edge of the weir with about 5cm of water going over. Actually, and I wish I had photographed it now, at my back is a very interesting small constuction which I thought nothing of, at the time. It is the 'Settle Hydro' :
"Settle Hydro was built in 2009 on the site of Bridge End Mill, one of a number of mills that operated on this stretch of the River Ribble until the mid-twentieth century.
The Hydro is powered by water that is drawn from the Ribble immediately above the weir, through a sluice gate, along the mill's original head race, down the Archimedes Screw (the turbine!) and back into the Ribble a short distance from the base of the weir. Electricity is generated by the falling water rotating the Archimedes Screw turbine which, in turn, drives a generator. The electricity is fed by a direct line to the old mill building which now houses a number of apartments. Electricity that is not needed by the apartments is fed into the National Grid." More info: www.settlehydro.org.uk
Nice full screen!

Apart from those white structures on the far bank, this would have a very timeless look to it.

The streaming of water on your picture reminds me to a rainy day in Bath/ Somerset that I visited in the year 1989:
