Floods.

It has rained so much in the last week. My Nikon was playing up today so this is a P&S Shot.

The River Soar is in flood for many miles through north Leicestershire. This Pylon is normally 200 yards from the river.

A sort of, "How do I follow yesterday?" shot. Answer, "I don't even try to!!"

Very nice Sean. I like the pattern of all the lines, and your processing.

[Ann Stenson]

Awesome capture Sean! : )

[Andreas]

Cool shot Sean, I like the composition and the lines. Sky a bit overprocessed for my liking though.

[Alison Tomlin]

OMG that does look a bit serious. Its May now so surely the weather realises its supposed to stop with the April showers...

[Sean O'Neill]

@ladyjane Thanks Jane.

[Sean O'Neill]

@annbo Cheers Ann

[Sean O'Neill]

@primitiveprobe Thanks Andreas. I know what you mean, the sky was very washed out, prob fiddled too much!

[Sean O'Neill]

@fueast Lots of floods in The Soar Valley, but a lot of flood plain to soak it up.

@jennywren Thanks Jen. Not my best ever day, but not the most inspiring day..

[Megsy]

I really like this shot and the processing

[Isla Wight]

Oh dear - that is one serious puddle under the pylon - sums up the weather quite nicely ...

[Corinne]

I do like the overprocessed sky, it is like looking through an old TV screen (before flat screens.....ok I'm not 20 any more !).... very interesting !

[Dana]

I like the way the power lines and tower contrast with the sky.

[Livia]

Cool composition! Love the lines. And that is a lot of rain! We've been getting more rain than usual too. But the heat doesn't let up at all.

[Ellen Young]

Wow that is a lot of water ! Great Lines..Like it in black and white!

[Sheli]

This reminds me of someone wading in water, up to their hips, with their arms out and their breath taken because it's so darned cold!!

[Tessa]

I think those yesterday shots only come alone every now and then. But still a great shot today.

@megsy @islawight @cocobella @danacarruthers @myautofocuslife @ellimae @sheliwithani @tesssa Thank you all. I appreciate your comments. @tesssa too right!!!

I love the way the grey colour complements the geometric shapes of the pylon and power lines.
