The Floodplain in Aman Park.
This park is located in the floodplain of Sand Creek and It provides reflection pools everywhere. Morning and evenings are exceptional. However, we had heavy rains yesterday and it is now flooded to the point of being impassable. It will be a couple of days before I can return.
Due to heavy rainfall in Germany, Belgium and Southern Netherlands all the water is now coming our way.

Mighty river Waal. Floodplains near the city of Tiel, where I live, at high water. The river seeks and takes its space after heavy rainfall in Germany and the south of the Netherlands.
In the floodplains of the Rhine, near the Gelderse village of Doorwerth, lies the famous Doorwerth castle. It has a long history, many renovations and even more noble residents. Including a remarkable woman, about whom a well-known novel has been written.
To get to know the first of those inhabitants we have to go back to the Middle Ages. Ridder Berend van Dorenweerd built a castle here on the banks of the Rhine around 1250. It was not very big yet: the structure consisted of one residential tower and was made of wood.
It has not been there for a long time. In 1260, the Count of Gelre, ruler of the area, ordered the tower to be set on fire. Knight Berend had to be punished for his predatory and violent actions in levying tolls on shipping traffic on the Rhine.
In 1280, a descendant of knight Berend rebuilt the tower. Over the years it has been enlarged a bit.
The most famous name associated with Doorwerth Castle is that of Charlotte Sophie van Aldenburg Bentinck (1715-1800). As a descendant of Anton Count of Aldenburg, she was for a short time the wife of William Count Bentinck (1704-1774), castle lord of Doorwerth.
She was an unusual woman at the time: independent, feminist and impulsive. She led an active love life and was a welcome guest at European royal courts.
Traveled and learned as she was, she maintained an exchange of letters with none other than the great French thinker and writer Voltaire (1694-1778). The writer Hella Haasse (1918-2011) recorded her story in the book Mevrouw Bentinck. Incompatibility of Character & The Great Ones (1978).
Finally, an interesting detail that is also given some attention in the castle. Kasteel Doorwerth has built up quite a reputation as a haunted castle among paranormal believers. For a long time there has been talk of ghosts and white wives who would wander around here. In 2004 British researchers - according to their own words - recorded a ghost on video here.
Маю повне право сказати про себе словами французького письменника Жюля Ренара: "Моя батьківщина - там, де пропливають найпрекрасніші хмари".
Давно посивіли та спливли дощами ті тисячі білих хмар, якими я милувався все життя, але кожного разу, коли на синьому-синьому небі знову хтозна-відкіля починають пливти величні кучові хмари, мені здається, що у світі немає нічого красивішого за них. Хіба що квіти.
Brunel certainly knew what he was doing when he built the railway line high above the flood plains on the edge of Bath. This is the view looking towards Saltford this weekend following significant rainfall. The river normally runs parallel to the railway as it approaches Saltford. Several trains were diverted along this stretch due to flooding elsewhere on the network.
