Flooded to the seat

Nepean River, Penrith

Same seat in yesterdays photo, taken this morning.
Last night Warragamba Dam opened its spillgates and the water rushed into the river,
still raging this morning when this shot was taken.
As you can see from yesterdays pic (below), today the water had completely covered the jetty and boat ramp..
it also continues up the road and cars have no access to where they would usually put their boats in the river.


Same spot yesterday:


Canon EOS 30D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
1/400s f/11.0 at 40.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

A good observation. Interestingly, the Penrith in the UK floods often too !

Wonderful shot. Went to visit warragamba dam, but couldn't get any decent view of the spillway! Lots of people though.
