Just a week ago, I did a stitch of several photos with Sue's camera when we had a sandwich at the park while sitting in the car in our usual Bad Weather Spot. Normal water level is beyond the tree in the centre, and none of the land to either side should be flooded.

| This is a stich of 6 photos covering a 180° field of view. The river does not really go uphill in the middle. :) |
On Friday, we went back and saw that the flood was receding a bit.

| This started out as a similar stitch, but for compositional reasons I cropped it quite a bit. It's certainly a better photo, technically. Live and learn, eh? |
Then we drove to a nearby town where there are falls. This is the same river, but just fifteen or so miles downstream. Beware of the sound if and when you click play. It's pretty loud.
It's hard to believe it's the same river, and it's also hard to fathom that it would have been raging even more last weekend when the water was even higher.
Finally, a photo of the falls.
i enjoyed the rushing water sounds, but i hope folks stay safe from flooding!
ReplyDeleteIt is scary how powerful those rivers get!!!
ReplyDeleteTo my knowledge our little Mississippi doesn't have raging falls like that... but tis a big wider even here upstream. ;)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I really hope it doesn't flood! Enjoyed your stitched photos.
ReplyDeleteThat IS a lot of water! Neat photo stiching!

It's pretty incredible. We were at Burliegh Falls briefly, yesterday and I had to snap a couple of pics too. I didn't capture the same drama that you did though.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, that water power is something else - scary, even...
