Yesterday I showed the River Aire in Roberts Park and here we have the River Wharfe in Ilkley (photos taken last Sunday). Like the Aire, it is full almost to capacity, though not quite overtopping its banks. I suppose what happens next depends on what the weather is like for the next week or so up in the Yorkshire Dales. Will we get some flooding or not?
Love that first shot especially. The weather forecast for the next 24 hours certainly doesn't look too enticing.
ReplyDeleteThe Water Boards have asked for a special dispensation to save water. They are concerned lest we have a repeat hot Summer next year. Nationally, the reservoirs are only half full. We really need the rain.
ReplyDelete"The River Wharfe it rises and falls past limestone crags and dry stone walls........."
ReplyDeleteWater is the stuff of life, and so beautiful to see flowing by.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that there is no flooding!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteThat wave action is quite formidable to see.
ReplyDeleteI'd quite like to sit there and ponder life, does it get flooded often?
