It hadn't rained for several days, so I was a bit surprised to encounter this flooded lane on my route. I managed to get around it by climbing on to the hedge, not so bad in itself, but I had my bike as well!
With the continuing periods of heavy rainfall onto already saturated ground, large areas of standing water, often submerging winter sown crops is now a common sight. This photograph was taken at dawn looking across the flooded fields.
Just a few days before I took this shot, there was no water at ALL beneath the neighbor's dock. Our river waters rose about 6 feet in two days! Yikes! No danger to our house, but we have really watched our dock, to be sure something didn't float downstream and rip it off!
Grantham, Riverside Walk. After a day of torrential rain and snow, falling on already sodden ground, the River Witham burst its banks on the northern side of the town centre. Wyndham Park and Belton Lane were particularly badly hit. Looking at the Belton Lane / Manthorpe Road traffic lights, with the road closed and a police patrol.

On our drive back from Minas Gerais, we did see some signs of flooding between São Paulo and Atibaia, SP, Brazil.
PS I captured all of the images in this series "on the fly" from the passenger seat :-)
Have a lovely Wednesday and thanks for visiting.
I photographed this park a few times during a once (or apparently twice) in a lifetime event. Once in May of 2017 when the entire park flooded due to record breaking high water levels, heavy rains and inadequate storm water management. Couple these problems with high winds creating large waves and the results are evident within this photo. I am am no engineer or landscape architect but being familiar with this park, I understood how the water management systems worked. The park has two small creeks that lead out toward lake Ontario and when the water levels are high enough and waves large enough they would rush up through the mouth of the creek raising the water level until it flooded its banks into the surrounding park. This was the main cause of the flooding and why it was so much worse at this park compared to other parks within the town.
This photo was taken in April of 2018 during the second major flooding event that I had noticed within the park. This one was not as bad as the year before and only affected the area surrounding one of the creeks.
While the flooding looks extensive (and it was) the water had completely drained within 48 hours of the event taking place.
The town is currently redesigning one of the creeks within the park to hopefully mitigate these types of occurrences in the future.

I'm starting to wonder whether I'll ever need take a photo again - more fun with Flaming Pear's "Flood" plug-in.
In September 1605 Chancellor Dunfermline reported to King James VI that inundations of the sea were likely to destroy and take away the whole town [of Dumbarton]. It was estimated that the flood defences would cost 30,000 pounds Scots, the cost being levied nationwide. Quoted from Wikipedia
I stumbled upon this flooded parking lot a couple of weeks ago and happened to have my camera with me.
A shot I took this March but just got around to processing.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island were hit with several days of torrential rain this March, leading to 400 year flood levels in some areas. This photo was taken in a wildlife refuge just off Route 225 in Bedford, MA, near the Carlisle border. The nearby Concord River had flooded, covering the access road nearby and much of the land in this area. This area of the state actually fared pretty well in the storm -- things were much worse to the south.

I've been recently photographing for album covers, for numerous well known bands. I have been working on numerous concepts over the past month and here is another example.
If your in a band/ solo artist etc and you want my work on the front of your album get in contact. All the work you see on my flickr account is for sale or you can send me a brief and we'll negotiate on prices and ideas.

The flood that we experienced in our region this spring hasn't been seen since 1974, but experts say that with climate change, we may experience it once again in a few years! The problem is that with a warmer planet, the jet stream has altered its course bringing our region heavy precipitation from the Gulf of Mexico at the same time that our accumulated snowfall is thawing. While there are water level controls in the vast reservoirs to the north of our watershed (an area of 146,000 km2, larger than Switzerland or England), there are few in the south where most of the population resides.
At my lake, the water level rose by almost 1 meter higher than the highest level I had seen previously. Just to get to my dock, the water was up to my chest. Fortunately our cottage is on high ground and was not affected but there are many less fortunate. This is a scene of the forest in front of our cottage.
L'inondation que nous avons vécue dans notre région ce printemps n'a pas été vue depuis 1974, mais les experts disent qu'avec les changements climatiques, nous pouvons l'éprouver encore une fois dans quelques années! Le problème, c'est qu'avec une planète plus chaude, le courant de jet a changé son parcours en amenant notre région à de fortes précipitations du Golfe du Mexique en même temps que notre neige accumulée se dégele. Bien qu'il y ait des contrôles du niveau de l'eau dans les vastes réservoirs au nord de notre bassin hydrographique (une superficie de 146 000 km2, plus grande que la Suisse ou l'Angleterre), il y a peu au sud où réside la majorité de la population.
À mon lac, le niveau d'eau a augmenté de prèsque un mètre plus haut que le niveau le plus élevé que j'ai vu auparavant. Juste pour arriver à mon quai, l'eau était à la hauteur de ma poitrine. Heureusement, notre chalet est en terrain haut et n'a pas été affecté, mais il y avait beaucoup des gens moins chanceux. Ce dessin c'est d'une scène de la forêt devant notre chalet.
A few of the houses lower down Kintore are not so protected as the River Don runs quite close and when it burst its banks during Storm Babet were in danger of being flooded. Fortunately, this time, the flooding only reached a small number.

Plitvice National Park in Croatia consists of a series of waterfalls connected by short rivers and lakes, tumbling down the side of a mountain. When we visited there had been extensive flooding due to unusually heavy rains and a part of the park was closed.

A storm that rolled through Howard Springs just on sunset. I managed to get a few shots before the rain started then had to sit in the car while it passed over.

The River Kent in Kendal, Cumbria.
The Miller Bridge, formerly named Mill Bridge, was erected in 1818 to the design of John Rennie. It was a replacement of earlier bridges, one of which was destroyed by a flood. It joins New Road and Aynam Road.
The River Kent is a short river which originates in hills surrounding Kentmere, and flows for around 20 miles (32 km) into the north of Morecambe Bay. The Lake District National Park includes the upper reaches of the river within its boundaries.
The river passes through Kentmere, Staveley, Burneside, Kendal and Sedgwick. Near Sedgwick, the river passes through a rock gorge which produces a number of low waterfalls. This section is popular with kayakers as it offers high quality whitewater for several days after rain.
The village of Arnside lies alongside the Kent estuary. On high spring tides, a tidal bore known as the Arnside Bore forms in the estuary opposite Arnside. The wave is often about 0.5m high.
Near the source of the river is Kentmere Reservoir, which was constructed in the mid-19th century to control the flow of the river for the benefit of water mills. The river was used to power numerous mills in the past, including two at Staveley, Kentmere water mill, and also the James Cropper paper factory at Burneside. One of the weirs at Staveley produces electricity for Staveley Mill Yard via a micro hydro scheme. There is also scope for micro hydro upstream at Kentmere.
The river is a designated Special Area of Conservation, primarily as an important habitat for the endangered White-clawed Crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes). Fish species include salmon and trout. In the twentieth century fish ladders were constructed alongside the dams of mill-ponds to allow migratory fish to swim up to Kentmere. In 2013 DEFRA funding was announced for eel passes at Stramongate weir in Kendal and Basinghyll fish counter.
This is the 10th Street Bypass, looking eastward. Still flooded but not nearly as bad as yesterday. Unfortunately, I did not get any photos of it at its worst. On the center/ left of the frame, where the trees are, is a walking/ jogging/ bicycling path that is a couple of feet lower than the street. Obviously, it's still submerged in water and probably will still be for the next few days.
