Sky Watch Friday 21



Its been a dull, cold and wet two week period and I have been at a loss as to skies to post for SWF.

Lord L and I went to town today and stopped by Cogglesford Water Mill.
Lord Ls pictures are on the left and mine on the right.
The Mill is no longer used for its original purpose, however it is now a popular restaurant.

Top. First left is the back of the Mill.
Second middle is the top lake feeding the mill race.
Third right is the tilt gate over the race.


Middle . First is the front aspect of the Mill.
Next is the Swing Bridge over the river Slea ,that I spoke of two weeks ago.
It is not completed yet.

Lower . First is a close up picture of the back of the Mill.
Second is looking into the boiling water of the race.
You can see a small shaft of sun light on the wall.

To enlarge the pictures just click on the photos.

We walk along the river side now and then, there is certainly one Kingfisher,
who patrols a stretch of the river close to the Mill.

If you click on the Sky Watch Banner in my side bar on the right you can enjoy looking at hundreds
of wonderful Sky Watch pictures from around the world.

Thanks to Dot and other past founder members of Sky Watch for setting up this meme.
Thanks also to the present volunteers who continue to assist and monitor the programme.

Just wonderful. I can hear the water rushing and feel the crisp air.

All very nice. I especially like the first picture, with the reflections in the water.

Great pictures of the mill. Looks like a great place to visit.

We've got a couple of mills like this in town, though only one of them has the building still standing. That one is now a historic site. The other one is a city park, though only the millrace remains of it.

I have a real fondness for old mills like these. Nicely done.
