In at #292 explore. This is the River Nore at Castletown, County Laois. I had a 4 stop ND filter on for this to blur the water. A grey morning with drizzle from time to time. Was glad to get a very brief view of the sun though. Shot with me and the tripod welly high in the river. The roar of the water totally surrounds you down here. The salmon leaping time is around January so no mid air fish this time of year. Taken when I was on holidays...my wife loves the alarm going off at 6am...NOT! 10-22 lens on the 70D to get as much of the scene in as possible. 11mm and F22.0 to give a 1.3sec exposure. The Corn Mill
This Corn mill was probably built during the lifetime of John “The Miller”Roberts (1798 – 1830) who lived in Castletown.
Water from the river Nore was used to turn the large mill wheel outside the mill which was joined to other wheels inside where the various grain grinding processes were carried out.
The De La Salle Order owned the mill for a long number of years and it is now the property of Mountrath Golf Club.
