A Skipton waterfall

I visited Skipton Castle in September and heard running water, through a window there, from the valley below. I thought this was strange as there is a canal below the castle. I decided to investigate the source of this water on leaving the castle. I headed along the canal to find a river running parallel with the canal and into the river flowed this waterfall. It didn't look much at first but I thought it would make a good long exposure shot. I didn't have any ND filters with me at the time or a tripod. I had to set the aperture to f22 to restrict the light coming into the camera and slow the shutter speed, Then basically placed the camera on the path floor and set a two second timer. I was more than pleased with the finished result.
