More photos of the floods back at the beginning of this month. The below photo was taken from a small bridge, a much improved bridge I must say - it is just up the road where my husband and I lived for the first 8 years of our married life. Being a city girl, I loved living in the country and that river, though not wide is called the Liffey River and it's where I used to swim as it's fairly deep. On really hot days I would take a tractor tyre tube and my Labrador dog and off we would go swimming. Also on hot days when the men had finished carting bales of hay they would come down to the river jump in to cool off.
Then we would walk up the road such a short distance and I would cook them their evening meal.
Do keep in mind the water was a lot cleaner and it normally is but of course in the photo it's been stirred up by the rain and flow.
The photo above is at the end of the road and on the side of the road heading towards Launceston, where I live. The storm and wind broke off these trees.
Further along the main highway we came across this area which is called Westwood, and the photo was taken from the Westwood Bridge.
It was a lovely drive even though it wasn't sunny, good to see the lambs.. The below photo is a small quarry opposite the lambs.
A house/farm in the Westwood area and the flood area on the way back to the main road/highway.
Bad flood and storm!
ReplyDeleteBucolic scenery. Lovely!!
ReplyDeleteExcept the floods, obviously.
Por España también las hay amiga. El tiempo está revuelto. Me gustas las fotos, más la de los corderos.
ReplyDeleteBuen otoño Margaret.
Un abrazo.
Beautiful country scenery. Living by the river has advantages but when storms and lots of rain come, it can rise and cause lots of problems.
