It stood on the bank of The Little River.  The river is pretty small, but was running swiftly.

Today's quote:
In the mountains of truth you will never climb in vain: either you will get up higher today or you will exercise your strength so as to be able to get up higher tomorrow. -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, philosopher (1844-1900)
