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, 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!

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to William Sutherland ^club

Thank you, William, the levels are allowed to flood at times of excessive rain which saves towns and villages, an early warning system for farmers means all livestock is moved in good time.

Paysage hivernal. Les inondations, dans les champs bien sûr, ne sont pas forcément désastreuses mais il ne faut pas que ça se répète trop.
