Flood Levels are Falling

First day out with the camera this year on a bitterly cold and overcast afternoon, I only carried the pocket camera and this is shot in 16.9 therefore a large view would be appreciated !

Flood levels are clearly falling in this view looking across Aller moor towards the town of Somerton and taken from Walton Hill, which is a part of Somerset's Polden Hill range.

Thank you, This has become an overspill area which is allowed to flood, therefore protecting property.

A nicely detailed image........especially when viewed large..........which clearly shows the sodden landscape and the remaining floodwaters.

A well composed shot Roger..........I'm impressed that you got outside in the freezing cold..!!

Roger (Grisly) replied to Keith Burton:

Thank you, Keith, Pumps are clearing the water quite quickly now that the rain has stopped,
The intention was to go the previous day, which was sunny, but I know from experience that the low sun is directly at the camera from this spot. But gosh, it was cold!
