Description
Location: Abbots Brook; Bourne End, UK.Taken with: Canon Digital IXUS 70.
Adjustments & Touchups: Adobe Photoshop 7.0
This village is on flood alert, we arn't majorly high risk like Maidenhead, Oxford or Windsor, but all the same the River Thames is showing its wrath once again and this image was taken outside someones driveway. Their whole garden was underwater including the start of their house. I could barely walk along the river as it was so high it had already succeded its banks and was rushing onto the footpath in just the marina alone.
We are expected to get the worst flooding alert sometime this early to late morning.

Wow, the reflection and lighting is amazing. I love it! It's almost funny how such a destructive thing like flooding can help use produce beautiful photos like this.

excellent lighting and reflection I hope you are safe and comfortable, away from the floods... I'd hate to think what kind of junk will arise when the Thames breaks - yuck

Sorry, but that comment seemed kind of insensitive? Flooding = destructive. Not "cool."
It's a lovely photo, Rikku.
