The Oracle

Today I am showing you the River Kennet as it passes through the Oracle shopping center in Reading. Here we look towards the London Street road bridge (the arch you see through the near bridge). The building you see on the left is the Blade.

 Looking the other direction towards the footbridge at the center. During the recent floods all the area you see on either side of the river was under water

Sunday Photo

This weeks Sunday Photo is 13th-century Preaching Cross on the village green in Woodeaton, in the background is the Holy Rood church which is featured this week in my other blog My Grave Place.

Have a great Sunday

After the rain

Skywatch Friday my Favorite meme. This week we see the sun shining on the flooded River Thames at Wallingford

Thursday morning I was at a construction site and saw this Rainbow

 In the afternoon I saw another rainbow which was a complete double one unfortunately this was all I could get while stopped in traffic.

The Floods

Well you have all heard about or seen the floods over here in the UK and seen some of the Thames which I have shown from Wallingford Bridge. Today I'll show some of the floods themselves.

 Thursday was the highest level and if you look you can see a line on the right marking the 1894 level. I might add the flood level so far was just shy of the 2003 one.

St Peter's Church with the river creeping up near the wall

Any one want to park here.

This is the Thames Path 

 This dude was paddling around in the riverside meadow

Along with a couple of swans. Have a great day

Not quite the last of them yet I still have two more to show next week. I hope I am not boring you with these murals.

 Thought this swan was rather amazing

Catherines Cafe

I only noticed this place on the corner of St Marys Street Wallingford in recent weeks and it looks newly opened. The place used to be a pizza cafe now it seems to sell tea & cakes. Hope it does well.

Have a great weekend

Sunday Dawn

Woke up on Sunday morning to a most stunning sky, I only wish I had got up earlier and go to a nearby hill to get some better photo's.

 When I let the dogs out I saw this sky

So I took one from the bedroom window. I was not the only one to see it as you can see on mancunianwave.
