Ahh Dave!
You have plucked at the heart strings here. in my youth I used to work on Bithels Boats which are, or were, based just about 100 yds to the left of where you were standing. Many a story from those days including how me and a mate tried to ride the Dee bore up and over the that very weir in a rowing boat one dark night. Happy days.
Anyway, a cold morning, an univiting stretch of water under a chill sky. All these elements are nicely portraid and it simply makes you yearn for the warmth of home. Those bare trees in the background and rather plain achitecture just add to the uninvitng and unromantic environment.
The boat to the right has an abandoned air underlying the the thought that others too have fled the scene for a warm hearth.
Justin.
