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

DeleteWow - that is a LOT of water! Nice pano shots. Hope things dry out for you soon.
ReplyDeleteIts going down but we are due another 48 hours of rain yet
DeleteYou have taken beautiful photos, Bill!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that
DeleteThe water really is high. I hope it won't do too much damage. Enjoy your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteNot in this area but in other places it did

Deletethe 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.
ReplyDeleteDid you see my shadow. Can think of a few places in the world would like some of it
DeleteBeautiful work! The sky is a beautiful blue!!! Wishing you well!
ReplyDeleteThe sky made the photo as it brightened it up, today it would have looked miserable
Deletelovely photos with sun and shadows
ReplyDeleteYes it was nice, makes the place look nice

Done, did not have the link last night
DeleteLots of water, interesting to see you have rain and not snow this time of year. Maybe I should winter there! ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't kid yourself we get it and it is still due but feel free to come over
DeleteThe water looks like it's moving pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteIt was racing along through all the arches on the bridge
DeleteIt looks like you need a panoramic shot to get it all in.
ReplyDeleteUsed the compact, even using the DSLR & wide angle it would not all go in.
DeleteI hope that you are not flooded! I'm new here, I just popped over from sunlit sunday!
ReplyDeleteWelcome along glad you popped over. Love your owls PS no more flooded than you
DeleteBitter sweet photos Bill. They are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the reality of what people have had to endure over the last few weeks.
I don't mind seeing the floods just it affects people and wrecks their lives which I don't like
DeleteSorry to see such devastating flooding. That doesn't mean the photos are not excellent.
ReplyDeleteThank you Andy they are not too bad round here if a bit high
DeleteStunning shots, Bill!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dana, hope bump is doing well as you
DeleteHey, Bill, can you please send some of this water to us here in Southern California? We could really use it!!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome to some unfortunately it seems to be coming from over your side of the pond. Hope you get some soon
DeleteBeautiful 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!

DeleteVisiting from Sunlit Sunday. Those are beautiful shots- gorgeous blue skies too! That's too bad about the flooding.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, yes they are wonderful skys
DeleteWow - it looks so dangerous!
ReplyDeleteIt is as I know, I jumped in the flooded Thames once, but don't worry I was on a rope and was pulled in
DeleteBeautiful photos but I was so sad to see and hear about all the flooding in England.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment, it was sad though it did not affect us round here much apart from travel
DeleteBeautiful photos - but serious looking flooding!
ReplyDeleteIt was very serious in places, many roads closed and homes flooded
DeleteGorgeous shots - sorry for the flooding though. We've heard about it over here. My son lives in London.
ReplyDeleteHes down river then and it won't really affect him, they would rather people like us upstream get flooded than let London catch it.
DeleteAwesome 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
ReplyDeleteFew residents in this area are affected but the sub you see was short lived we had more rain
DeleteI'm visiting from Sunlit Sunday. We've been following the UK weather - storms, sliding cliffs and floods - on the evening news. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteThough 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
DeleteYes, it's flooded, but heck, it IS the Thames, so it's always beautiful.
ReplyDeletePoppy
Could not agree more there Poppy

DeleteSorry about the flooding. The first photo is beautiful, even though it shows a natural disaster.
ReplyDeleteI think only the buildings on the left were affected from what I have seen but thank you for the comment and visit.
DeleteYour 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...
ReplyDeleteNice to find you!
Olympia
What round here in Wallingford or the UK in general? We still have the floods as they are taking a while to go down.
