And Quiet flows......
...not "the Don". but Scalaber Beck, near Settle, in N. Yorkshire! I don't know why, but I feel this straight-on shot from mid-stream, with foreground rocks, slows the pace somewhat from the previous 3/4 angles, which convey movement.
(And Quiet flows the Don, by Mikhail Sholokhov, was published in 1928. It sounds so pastoral with that title, but is actually about the turbulent fortunes of the Cossack people through peace and war around the time of the Russian Revolution! I remember it from my Grandad's bookshelf, but I don't think I've ever read it. Perhaps I should!)
