Beautiful, so moody and nostalgic. Is it somewhere in the UK?

Oh, isn't the the village where they often shoot movies? I think we learned about it in our English classes a few years ago.

Both have had their fair share of movie shoots. And they’re only a 20 min drive from each other!

I followed your reference. Fascinating. But they didn't actually get to blow it up so was it at last dismantled? One would think 20 Cent Fox could have found another already existing body of water for those shots. 😖 Bully for Sir Fiennes! And thanks to you, Sir Lost. 😃

I misremembered him blowing it up.

No worries. You brought it to our attention. I just hope they finally set the stream free to follow its natural course. No telling how much flora and fauna were harmed not to forget the gnome and elves that habitate those woods. 😀🤔😀
