unexpected views of the small river... unexpected because we have never really heard about this river, just stopped once, about a year ago, to check what's under the bridge .-) and we found this nice river... some days ago we followed the path along it and found such places :-)
Tricky shot to get this one as to get the angle on the waterfall you need to cross the river .... which is usually a torrent! Fortunately on this day it had been dry for a while (unusual in Scotland) allowing me to wade across.

Molenaarsgraaf is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Molenlanden, and lies about 11 km west of Gorinchem.
In 2001, the village of Molenaarsgraaf had 414 inhabitants. The built-up area of the village was 0.041 km², and contained 143 residences. The statistical area "Molenaarsgraaf", which also can include the peripheral parts of the village, as well as the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 1110.
Molenaarsgraaf was a separate municipality until 1986, when it became part of Graafstroom.] Latterly it has been part of Molenwaard since 2013.
As the name implies, the Graafstroom is actually a dug canal, in the Dutch municipality of Molenlanden (province of South Holland), between Vuilendam and Hofwegen with a length of 6 kilometers. In the Middle Ages, the middle of the Alblasserwaard was a raised moor area that was difficult to reach and therefore only developed later. In the second half of the 13th century, a connection was made between two peat rivers: the Goudriaan and the Alblas. The former upper course of the Alblas was thus straightened out. The Graafstroom, after which the former municipality of Graafstroom was named, turns into the Alblas between Bleskensgraaf and Oud-Alblas, at the height of the Wijngaardeseweg. West of Oud-Alblas, the Alblas has a large bend to the north and back to the south, which is cut off by the Nauwe Alblas. The river eventually flows into the North at Alblasserdam.
The low rainfall has exposed lots of rocks in the river down by Westport house. You can also use them to hope across the river in a few places if you don't want to walk up to the little red bridge in the distance.
I shot this straight into the sun which emphasised the mist rising from the river Mersey. The picture was taken facing the West Bank area of Widnes. The block of flats to the left is across the river in Runcorn. I made a mono conversion too but preferred this stitch of two unprocessed shots. The river is totally burned out but I liked the result. The square tower on the right is St Mary's Church in the West Bank area of Widnes, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Liverpool, the archdeaconry of Warrington and the deanery of Widnes. Together with the churches of St Paul, Widnes, and St Mary, Hale, it forms the South Widnes Team. It has been described as "the last great church masterpiece" created by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley. Wikipedia. The spired church visible to the left of St Mary's is across the Mersey in Runcorn - The All Saints Parish Church. Runcorn and Widnes are now collectively known and administered as Halton.

The Otra is the largest river in the Sørlandet region of Norway. It begins in Setesdalsheiene mountains at the lake Breidvatnet in Bykle municipality in Agder county, just south of the border with Vinje municipality in Telemark county. The river then flows south through Bykle, Valle, Bygland, Evje og Hornnes, Iveland, Vennesla, and Kristiansand municipalities. The river empties into the Skagerrak in the center of the city of Kristiansand on the southern coast of Norway.
The Otra is 245 kilometres (152 mi) long, making it Norway's eighth-longest river. There are many large lakes along the river including: Åraksfjorden, Byglandsfjorden, Hartevatnet, and Kilefjorden. There are 12 hydroelectric power plants built along the river, which produce much of the electricity for the southern part of Norway.
The salmon do well in the Otra river because the water is not too acidic. The calcareous rocks in the catchment area at the northern end of the Setesdal valley give the water a certain buffer capacity against acidification.
