November has been the wettest month on record in the UK, and more heavy rain overnight goes some way to making December a contender for that record. Although somewhat swollen by all the rain, the millpond at Throop and the Dorset Stour itself have yet to burst their banks: but the ground is heavily waterlogged on surrounding fields and lanes, resulting in localised flooding.
The submerged track in the photograph leads away to the east from the Pig Shoot and Throop Ford (now long gone), towards a second Ford - still intact - that crosses the Leaden Stour and continues on to Hurn.
12-24 f/4G Nikkor. 1/160 second at f/11. -0.33EV. ISO 200.
