I meant to write this alot earlier, but since I’m such a lazy bugger it’s taken me quite some time. Alot of time.
Once or twice a year we get a shitton of flooding around our house, and while it was relatively calm this year I still think it’s pretty awesome to look at.
This lazy and crappy panorama cut/paste of several pictures is the river below our house flooding the field of grass. One year we could look at the water seeping under the grass, lifting it up like water-balloons in pockets. To be quite frank it was damned awesome to play around with, until they burst and we fell through the holes we made. Which was fun as well. Before we poked the balloons to shreds we could literally see how the river dug below the grass and came out further down.
No, I’m not proficient at holding a camera still so the shots can be magnificent, but I’m pretty practiced at a slight shake.
Then we approach the pictures my father took, and as you can see he’s got a far more stable grip on the camera than I have. The first picture’s of the river behind my father’s workshop. The river’s pretty much frothing, and is at around 1 meter above it’s normal size.
Another shot of a frothing river. This is behind my grandfathers garage, which you can see vaguely on the right edge.
An awesome picture showing huge parts of the river upwards, as well as our simplistic, but solid, bridge that crosses it.
That tunnel was installed instead of the round one we had made of metal (that’d almost rusted through when they removed it) because it allows for more water to come through. Alot more water. Imagine how it used to be when the water when tossing over the road there! I’ll admit it was pretty awesome.
I’ll see if I can persuade my father to take some awesome shots of the area during winter, since we can clearly see proof of my poor hand at taking pictures. Hope you like it.
