Floodwaters on the moor 2

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 11 January 2014 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I'm not sure how long this series will last but I seem to have collected quite a few shots of what mother nature is throwing at the Somerset levels recently and thought I would show some of them. While this has been a trial for some who have been flooded out of their homes and the farmers have to contend with their fields awash it has made some fascinating scenes

Canon EOS 60D 1/800 second F/11.0 ISO 100 31 mm

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

Hi Doug - Indeed, this is a beautiful image! The sun's reflections and the silhouettes are gorgeous. I am amazed and VERY saddened by the issues many are facing due to the weather. I think it is really fantastic of you to alert and display this information to others who may not be aware. I know you live in an area that can be severely affected by flooding. What really "gets me going" is the refusal to believe (here in the States) that any kind of climate change is even occurring!! After watching a recent BBC-UK report, I noticed the acceptance of global climate change without question or debate . Here, we still have idiots who think it is just a bunch of liberal barkers dragging out another "cause!" I don't know when the US going to wake up! Anyway, sorry for the diatribe - I DO hope that you are ok and that this madness ends for the farmers and other citizens soon...Thinking of you :-).. dj
