Fantastic capture and history, Mike. Why would a river decide to find another route (without the hand of man)?

Beautiful work and composition. #7809733

Another great old structure and an outstanding capture, Mike! Rivers will do that I guess, if left to their own devices. I know the old red mill I have featured several times is also high and dry today and is now a private home with a water wheel in the yard! Great job on this, with wonderful details and a cool POV! #7812372
