Still on the river Swale near Keld, North Yorkshire. Rutter Force is tucked away behind a farm, is not shown on most maps and is therefore not often photographed.
I find that waterfalls don't look at their best from the top but I thought that this was going to be my only view of it

Just as I was going to walk back onto the main road I saw the farmer and asked if it was possible to get below the falls. given permission to walk through I made my way through

Glad you got to talk with the farmer - these are some really nice falls. I have had some luck with some falls shooting from above but the views from below are almost always better. Good example of that.
 
At Moose Falls in Yellowstone, there was a slight rain, and after taking this photo, I neglected to pack the Gitzo tripod into the car. It dawned on me 15 minutes later at the next stop; I returned, but the tripod had disappeared.

I have a story that is eerily similar, Murali. I was photographing a landscape in a meadow in Yosemite late in the day. A few deer showed up and I decided to photograph them and took my camera off of the tripod in order to follow them for a close up. When it got too dark to photograph, I went back to the car, put my camera in my backpack and drove off. I didn't realize that I didn't pick up my tripod until I got back to the motel. I got up early the next day to get back to the meadow before sunrise and when I got there it was gone.
