Across The River

I thought this looked familiar. I live only 7 miles west of Durham and the riverside walk is one of my favourites (Especially at this time of the years when all the students are away and you don't run the risk of being pushed into the river by the the runners who use it as a training ground) If I am not mistaken this is the Old Fulling Mill just below the Cathedral. The high contrast is well held in the tree leaves because that is what it is like and even the dark shadows don't look out of place, again because that is what it is like.

Plus 1 from me. Perhaps a little more detail in the shadows but fundamentally, a nice capture.
 
Thank you for the comments, we had a nice walk around that part of Durham that day.
Very bright and sunny day it was as well.
 
I actually think the shadows are right. Living there I have seen the river and the buildings on the edge of the water in all states. Under the trees it can get very dark when the leaves are in their prime. Almost as dark if you were driving you would need lights on. That aside, the dark shadows almost form a frame to highlight the subject in the centre - the mill.
