Flood,  flood and flood some more.....

After many days of rain the local canals and rivers have burst their banks in several places.

Not that Ive seen,   but the fishing lakes are closed.

All remarkable shots DA.    All those rains you've had has certainly caused an over abundance of water in the canals and rivers.  

Nice pictures, but certainly one of the phenomena that can cause a lot of trouble.

Pretty extensive flooding. Let's hope it soon recedes.

After last nights rain I doubt it,    one of the locals said the water in the back right corner of the field shot was 6" higher than that the day before.   


It did get a feature by the towns IG account this morning which was nice (and what I was going after)

Yes,  thats quite a long exposure of the water to get the movement captured but I did have to remove the ghosts of people on the walk way.

Mission accomplished

So inconsiderate of them to wander into your shot

Oh dear. I hope you pull it through.

Indeed.  Now Im hoping that the little boats gets picked up next week

It was,   but I blame the dog for pulling them through the shot.

Glad there is no huge amount of damage.  Great shots though, really crisp.

A little reprieve this afternoon which allowed me to tempt faint and clean the car.

Incidentally, I saw the cormorant again yesterday - and with a mate this time.
A nesting pair, maybe.

Good to have a chance to spend the spare time wisely.

I did some things that have been on my "To-do" list for some time already during this weekend as well. I'm not going to spoil all the details yet, but I can hint that the coffee cup video is getting a sequel

Could be, they dont tend to be very sociable from what Ive seen of them.

Excellent,  the cup video was great.

This was the nearest I could get - at full zoom with the Pocket2.
Not the best of images.

They do look like friends dont they.   Although Im having my own bird issues at the moment,    weve discovered the starlings have figured out how to open the vent flaps on the kitchen extractor and have got Into the ducting work.

They're unbelievable aren't they.  We had blue-tits nesting in a tiny hole in the house wall back in France.
Jackdaws are the main pest here.

We had jackdaws on the roof air vent but they didnt cause us any issues,  sadly the crows seems to have scared them away.

Thanks for the compliments

It is advancing well, the video material is all recorded now. Everything's that left is to record the lines from all voice actors, place and synchronize them in the video and then get my boss's approval to publish the video. Will link to it here as well. Probably some time during next week

Brilliant.  Youve got voice actors.

Yes, some other people are involved in the voice acting roles, though I will be doing one role myself as well. There are a couple of group scenes in the sequel, so it helps to have multiple people to really make it sound like a crowd.

That's allot of water. After it comes down it has to go somewhere.

Sounds like you are really upping your production value with this endeavour.

Sadly it's not going anywhere at the moment,  the level just goes up and up.

It's amazing how much rain some of us are getting this winter.

My route this morning was cut off after the rain last night flooded the area by the crossing.

Well at least it didn't stop the drone.

It didnt,  but I had to climb back up a murderess hill to back track my route,    I need to do more hills really so I shouldn't complain.
