This week I'm posting a couple of panoramic photos of the Flooded Thames at Wallingford.

The first view shows friendly sunny spells ... Than I saw the water and think: That's Not good ...
Have a great weekend.

Gorgeous photos Bill, hope the flooding hasn't caused too much havoc.

Linda W. said...

Wow - that is a LOT of water! Nice pano shots. Hope things dry out for you soon.

Our photos said...

You have taken beautiful photos, Bill!

Unknown said...

The water really is high. I hope it won't do too much damage. Enjoy your Sunday!

Dreadfully beautiful... YAM xx

Snap said...

the first shot with the reflection of the bridge is wonderful ... they both are ... but I don't think I'd like that much water ... hope there wasn't too much damage.

Thank you for returning to Sunlit Sunday this week, Bill. Based on the location of the trees and shrubs, the flooding of the Thames looks very extensive (the bridge's shadow shows beautifully); I hope the water doesn't take long to recede and that any damage to property isn't too severe.

If you could put an actual link into the post I'd appreciate it; it makes it easier for people to pop over and see who else is participating. Thanks for your trouble and enjoy your week.

Lots of water, interesting to see you have rain and not snow this time of year. Maybe I should winter there! ;)

Judy said...

The water looks like it's moving pretty fast.

Sharon said...

It looks like you need a panoramic shot to get it all in.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

No it was it good though it was a really nice day

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Not round my area but other places it has, Oxford had two of the main roads closed because of the flooding and the railway has serious flooding at Hinksey

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Its going down but we are due another 48 hours of rain yet

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thank you for that

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Not in this area but in other places it did

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Well put Yamini

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Did you see my shadow. Can think of a few places in the world would like some of it

Billy Blue Eyes said...

The sky made the photo as it brightened it up, today it would have looked miserable

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Yes it was nice, makes the place look nice

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Done, did not have the link last night

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Don't kid yourself we get it and it is still due but feel free to come over

Billy Blue Eyes said...

It was racing along through all the arches on the bridge

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Used the compact, even using the DSLR & wide angle it would not all go in.

Amy at love made my home said...

I hope that you are not flooded! I'm new here, I just popped over from sunlit sunday!

Neesie said...

Bitter sweet photos Bill. They are fantastic!
It reminds me of the reality of what people have had to endure over the last few weeks.

Andy said...

Sorry to see such devastating flooding. That doesn't mean the photos are not excellent.

Dana said...

Stunning shots, Bill!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Welcome along glad you popped over. Love your owls PS no more flooded than you

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I don't mind seeing the floods just it affects people and wrecks their lives which I don't like

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thank you Andy they are not too bad round here if a bit high

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thank you Dana, hope bump is doing well as you

Spare Parts and Pics said...

Hey, Bill, can you please send some of this water to us here in Southern California? We could really use it!!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Your welcome to some unfortunately it seems to be coming from over your side of the pond. Hope you get some soon

Englepappa/ Ole JN said...

Beautiful pictures! The powers of the water is awesome - I really hope the flood hasn't done to much damage. Here in Norway we have finely got our cold weather, so now I hope for lots of snow and a lot of ice on the fjord!

Liz @ Sit With Me In My Garden said...

Visiting from Sunlit Sunday. Those are beautiful shots- gorgeous blue skies too! That's too bad about the flooding.

RedPat said...

Wow - it looks so dangerous!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Not round my area but other it has by flooding homes & businesses. Glad you have the cold though I have seen the Thames like it is freeze over a couple of times

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thanks for visiting, yes they are wonderful skys

Billy Blue Eyes said...

It is as I know, I jumped in the flooded Thames once, but don't worry I was on a rope and was pulled in

ellen b. said...

Beautiful photos but I was so sad to see and hear about all the flooding in England.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thank you for the comment, it was sad though it did not affect us round here much apart from travel

The Furry Gnome said...

Beautiful photos - but serious looking flooding!

Kathie said...

Gorgeous shots - sorry for the flooding though. We've heard about it over here. My son lives in London.

Susan ~ Southern Fascinations said...

Awesome photos, but sorry the residents have experienced this type flooding. Really liked first photo with the image showing the shadow of the bridge on the water! Hoping for sunny days for these folks. Smiles..Susan

Pondside said...

I'm visiting from Sunlit Sunday. We've been following the UK weather - storms, sliding cliffs and floods - on the evening news. Stay safe!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

It was very serious in places, many roads closed and homes flooded

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Hes down river then and it won't really affect him, they would rather people like us upstream get flooded than let London catch it.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Few residents in this area are affected but the sub you see was short lived we had more rain

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Though we had the storms it was not so bad round here, few trees falling over and lots of rain & flooding but most people are ok

Poppy said...

Yes, it's flooded, but heck, it IS the Thames, so it's always beautiful.

Poppy

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Could not agree more there Poppy

Cindy said...

Rushing water is never a good sign. It can take so much with it when rushing. For years I was an emergency worker with the Canadian Red Cross in Prince Edward Island and was on deployment to a number of flood zones. We just visited Storm Sandy in Staton Island after a year has passed from that flood zone and see 5 more houses have been torn down. The effects a flood leaves on a persons well being and their true possesions is heart breaking.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I have to agree, the Thames is flooding and also eroding the banks away along with flooding out houses causing no end of damage. Lucky it is limited to flooding in this area

Beth said...

Sorry about the flooding. The first photo is beautiful, even though it shows a natural disaster.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I think only the buildings on the left were affected from what I have seen but thank you for the comment and visit.

Things and Thoughts said...

Your photos are amazing but the fact is that it was a desaster for the whole area, as I saw on TV. I was there last Christmas and the weather was so mild...
Nice to find you!

What round here in Wallingford or the UK in general? We still have the floods as they are taking a while to go down.
