The lake rushing to meet the river

Despite my best efforts, I found myself having to work all last evening and so was not able to catch up with you all. The delight still awaits me, but I am suffering from eye strain so will need to take a screen break for a while.

I am posting a couple more from last weekend. I sent a few to my Dad - he enjoys seeing my photos and it gives me great pleasure to know that since he has always been a harsh critic . Dad chose two from those that I sent that he said 'told the story'. Here is the first.

When taking this, a couple of children appeared in their trainers running around in the water. I envisaged having to rescue them from the lake as it was very difficult (unless you knew - which I did) to ascertain where the lake ended and the overflow started and I feared they would run into the lake by mistake.

I approached them and very politely explained just how dangerous it was - and thankfully they left after that.
Great sense of movement of the water!

Pretty strong water! Definitely caught the atmosphere.

Wow- the water looks so powerful (glad the children listened!). I am assuming you have taken this from some sort of bridge because the water looks too powerful for you to be standing in it. Great shot!

Seeing flooding from a human scale POV gives more impact to the story. Well done.

I'm glad you warned the children of the danger! And I agree with your Dad that this image certainly tells a story. What an amazing thing it is to witness nature's power in this way. Take good care of yourself during your busy stretch, and I hope things settle down for you soon.

Looks wild. Indeed, danger as you don’t know the limits! Good of you to warn them! Better than having to save them with a cold swim...

@stimuloog that was at the forefront of my mind. I think I would have failed to be able to save them had they gone in - it was freezing cold.

Wow! Great angle to successfully capture this water movement.
