All these photos were
taken in York on 7 February 2011.
After a spell of very wet weather, especially in the Pennines, the River
Ouse through York had flooded. Nothing too unusual for York but not a
sight I'd seen before.
This is Lendal Bridge.

Someone's going to get wet feet retrieving their bike!

for comparison, the second photo shows the same scene with the river at more usual levels

Looking from Skeldergate across to the Kings Arms as some geese explore new surroundings. Well one does, the others have a kip after all the excitement.
