Flooding in St Neots

Last week, the rains of Storm Henk burst the banks of the River Great Ouse all along its course.  In St Neots, all the usual places were flooded, with the water higher than it has been in many years.

Creative Flooding

The Riverside Park was flooded again last weekend.  The third or fourth time this winter.  Like lock-downs or corporate re-brandings, I soon loose count at the the first couple.  Lacking the fog of the last one, I decided to try and be a little creative, with in-camera double exposure and and intentional camera movement.

Riverside Park In Flood And Fog

Apparently, I now only take photos in the fog.  

The riverside park in St Neots is a flood plain and spends, at least, a few days underwater in an average year.  But the recent floods have been the worst I can remember since the Easter of '98.  Even so, I have photographed the park in flood before.  I have also photographed the park in fog.  But never before both at once.  The combination turned a very familiar place into something ethereal.
