at its peak
Following the heavy rain this week, the river is out of its banks.

Re: at its peak
It is a lot of water but it stayed within the flood defences in the village centre so that's good.

Re: at its peak
We need a comparison shot when the waters recede to normal, Ken.

Agreed. Great shot.
Very ethereal with its atmospheric lighting.

Re: at its peak
As requested. Note though that while the river is well within its banks again there are still bits of the fields that are more than just a bit squelchy.

Re: at its peak
Yes, there weather has changed considerably. Both yesterday and today have been very mild and sunny too! I hadn't realised how warm it was so I wore by big thick coat when we went out for a walk. It wasn't long before I had to unzip it because I was hot.

Re: at its peak
On the 13th of February it was -12°C (10°F) here, and on Wednesday (the 24th) it was up to 18.5°C (65°F). Quite a difference!

Returning to this old thread from January last year, I've just reprocessed another photo I took that day.

If you listen carefully you can also hear my wife saying, "Lovely", but then adding, "but where are we supposed to hang it?"

Re: at its peak
Devastation looking very peaceful!
The difference is water levels is a good couple of metres by the look of it.

Re: at its peak
I think the river was about 2.5m above it's usual level when I took that picture. Not the highest its ever been though. That happened in 2000 and the mess that made finally forced the Env. Agency to build flood defences.
