Surveying the river by jamibann

Surveying the river

Well, it hasn't rained for 40 days and 40 nights, but it feels like it. We went out for a walk in the rain this morning to check on the river. People in our village get very nervous when the levels go up after the severe flooding at the end of 2015. I'm happy to report that although it is BIG, it looks as if it's not going to burst its banks - although it's still on the rise.
Shall I start building the ark just in case.

My, there has been a lot of rain. Our Post Office was flooded yesterday. Amusingly, our local Monsoon always floods......with their name, that always raises a wry smile! I hope your village stays safe and the river behaves.

Oh hoping the river doesn't flood!
Great pov!

This shot really captures the feel of the rising waters, good luck I hope they don't break the banks.

That does look slightly worrying - do take care.

The gray skies add such a sense of foreboding to this swollen river scene.

Great picture showing the scale of it. I hope it stops soon.

Understated situation, seen and understood. Take care, keep safe. We remember you and many others in our prayers.

Wow. Nice comp and use of foreground to help illustrate the breadth and depth. Glad there’s no cause for concern.

Very atmospheric, super capture

It’s a scary sight seeing a swollen river in full flow! So much rain fallen I’m not surprised to see this. The village next to ours has always had a flood problem, so bad last time that Prince Harry visited twice! Thankfully we are on a hill here & at new place!

wow stay safe

The photo tells it all. I hope it continues to flow on down rather than spread out any more. I guess your town would be a bit anxious with recent flooding still on their minds.

a great capture of really wet conditions

Great pov and wet tones. Stay safe!

What a delightful capture that tells your story. And also - I think your hubby (I'm assuming who that is!) needs to become an honourary member of the brolly girls :) fav capture.

The rain was certainly relentless…your capture reflects the power of the water as it rises.
October 4th, 2020  
Good shot- we certainly feel the tension of the rising water.
October 4th, 2020  
This shot shows your anxiety do hope the river holds it's banks.

@gilbertwood It is hubby, and he's delighted with his new honorary membership!

@jamibann Now you both will have to come and visit - when travel is back on the agenda :)
