Description
In late April I drove to Muskoka to document the flooding that was occurring in the towns of Bracebridge and Huntsville along the Muskoka River. Do to a quickly thawing snow pack, an unusually wet spring and possible mismanagement of the dams at various points along the river, these two towns declared a state of emergency due to the extreme flooding. I only had a few hours available during this short trip but I think I managed to come away with some really unique images.
