The "Donauinsel" is an artificial island in the River Danube extending for 21.1 kilometres from the Vienna's northern-most precincts to its southern limits. It is part of a flood-prevention scheme promoted by Vienna's Socialist City Council ("Das Rote Wien") in the 1960s and actually fought by opposition parties. Work started in 1972 and lasted until 1988. From the beginning it was planned as a nature reserve and recreational zone, A million trees were planted The Island has become not only a popular place for sport and relaxation, but also a resort for birds, plants and even wildlife - beavers for example.. This photo was taken at the southern tip of the island after a delightful cycle tour.
Amoung some of the many Pentax features that I value are the in-camera post-processing possibilites: a RAW-converter and so-called digital filters, as well as cropping and compression etc. The filters can be used in different degrees and can be combined to create a wide range of effects.
For this image I developed a jpg from RAW, adusting parameters such as exposure, ISO, contrast, and then applied a "Watercolour" filter - the intermediate setting gave the best result this time. The out of focus areas are nicely wishy-washy, while the sharp zones have received a clear outline. The image was finalised in SILKY PIX Developer Studio Pro 9, where I reduced the contrast to bring up the background, added some black to bring up the outline of the flowers, and worked on individual colours. I hope you like the result!

This is Calabazas Creek, which I believe serves as the Santa Clara - Sunnyvale border for some of its stretch, including this bit. So this photo is technically partially in Sunnyvale, too.
During my stroll alongside the River Eden, I came upon this furious rush of water over some boulders. What a house ... and what a wonderful location.
#3263 - 2016 Day 341: This section of shingle beach between Selsey and Bracklesham Bay was breached in 2013 as part of a managed realignment flood defence scheme. New defences created inland of the shingle bank and a new tidal channel have created a large area of saltwater marsh, now managed by the RSPB.
Only one problem for me. In plans afoot for a walk [...] , what was a 50m section of shingle is now a 12km detour to reach the other side ...

Its unfortunate that I'm unable to find a good Faggot where I live !

Utah, USA - September 21, 2020: The dam at the Flaming Gorge Reservoir at the National Recreation Area
Moss Valley, Lightwood, Sheffield, UK. During a volunteer working day I found myself involved in building a leaking dam, which are put in place to hold back water to prevent flooding further downstream. Not a bad attempt seeing none of us had done this before.

A 8.5km off-road cycle path from Clontarf to Sutton along Dublin bay has been completed twenty five years after work first began.
Dublin City Council has agreed to spend €500,000 to lower and reface part of the recently built flood defence sea wall in Clontarf.
The wall was built as part of the €5 million Clontarf cycle path which opened in may 2017 following two years of construction.
After a bitter dispute with local residents, the council agreed to reduce the height of the wall by up to 30cm along almost half a kilometre opposite St Anne’s Park.
The reduction in height will provide protection against a 100-year tidal event rather than the national standard of a 200-year tidal event, and for only half the allowance for sea-level rise expected by the end of the century.
The cost of the work is estimated at €230,000 to reduce the height of the sea wall and €300,000 for stone cladding.

Contractors working for the Sacramento District construct the support system for the rising Folsom Dam auxiliary spillway on March 14. The control structure—essentially a second dam—will stand as tall as the Statue of Liberty upon completion, estimated in October 2017, and will help reduce the risk of flooding in the Sacramento region.

My flood prevention idea....
Steps or ladders used to get in and out of the house. The door has been built above street level.
The steps would be raised above the door with a simple pulley mechanism - ensuring poor folk would find the solution affordable.
Job's a good un. No fat cats involved. Everyone's a winner.
Storm Franklin - February 2022:
Our client, Paul Midwinter in Wales was very pleased to let us know the success of our Nautilus 400 flood barriers.
Paul purchased the flood barriers supply only after having a wall built around the property.
This flood barrier is 1200mm high and in the photos, the water is about 600mm high. The floodwater was higher than this during the night and sadly, many neighbours lost their homes to the flood.
