Although there is seemingly no end in sight for the continual bad weather in the UK, at least the flood warning on the Dorset Stour has been lifted. That's as may be, but the flooding has already happened and likely to get worse as more rain arrives during the morning. This is unwelcome news to a local riverside home park, with more than 100 residents having been evacuated because of the rising river and little chance of them returning before Monday.
I had intended to walk the distance to make some photographs of the freshet, as the wind was still strong, but a lull in the conditions encourages me to ride instead. I arrive at the location - along with a fresh bout of rain - dodge two TV crews that are reporting at the scene - and get shooting. The floodwaters have dropped slightly since yesterday, and the earthwork defences are doing their job, but the actual river normally flows beyond the trees in the photograph, which illustrates the extent of the problem.

Hey man, I just checked out your richbrewphoto blog. You are an amazing photographer. The nature forms collection took my breath away.
Thank you, Tim. I'm still waiting for that email. :-)
I agree with Tim.
