Floods

Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 22 January 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

It seems to have rained a lot this January. I took this shot in Newark. The River Trent was about a meter higher than normal, and getting close to bursting its banks.

That fast water looks exciting, Richard. It looks like the kind of place attractive to kayakers. A nice one.

Although the circumstances aren't pretty, the results are. The light is especially nice.

The water looks really fierce, it's amazing that something so essential to life can also destroy it. Brilliantly captured Richard.

Great energy in this shot - another one where I can hear the water. As always, beautiful, considered work.

I really like this photo! The water where it is most turbulent looks almost like stone to me and to the right like glass...what a neat contrast! Well done!
