The finish line of the Maidenhead Regatta, just downstream of Brunel's famous railway bridge over the River Thames near the English town of Maidenhead. This bank of the river is in Buckinghamshire, whilst the far bank (and the town) are in Berkshire. The regatta was being rowed upstream, and the boat seen here had just finished. The marquees and spectators at the finish line can be seen in the medium distance.
