Afternoon on the Ings

335 - Having spent the last week sharing with you shots from the Residents Festival, it's time to come more up to date.

The past week has seen floods in a few parts of York city centre again. I thought I had probably already shared more than enough flood shots with you over the last 11 months, so here is a slightly different take.

Clifton Ings can be deliberately flooded to reduce the height of a serious flood in the city centre, and here is a shot across the flood water diverted here. I took a similar shot to this one evening last November which included a brief explanation of how the flood water diversion works - http://365project.org/if1/365/2012-11-29

This shot was taken during an afternoon walk yesterday, a beautifully sunny but cold day. It was lovely to see the play of sun on water as we walked along the eastern flood bank, but not surprisingly, it turned out to be a very muddy walk!
Great light and composition

A good result into the strong light, Ian. What a tough time it's been with the floods over the past several months. Another dry spring is needed.
