Here I am wondering whether to stay awake and see the new year in, so to pass the time I thought I'd post these grab shots taken during todays rain. Whenever it rains here now the water runs off the fields within minutes, the ground just can't take any more.
This is me walking up the tarmaced lane about 100 yards above my cottage.
This is the view back down the lane
Around the corner at the bottom and onto the main road this is a neighbours front gate.The tiny black triangle just off upper centre is the base of the wall of their cottage. At times this water spouting up from what should be an underground water drain has been waist high.
The view along the road shows some of the pebbles washed down from the lane where the tarmac has started to break up.We've cleared them off the road into the edge. Further along another flow of water off the fields is flowing down the lane through the East Farm barn conversions. One morning the water was cascading over the white wall just past the steps and handrail, as it also did over a retaining wall behind my cottage, thankfully about 20 yards away from where it might otherwise have threatened my back door.
By the standard of some other places it's only minor, but I'm getting mighty fed up of it all. Don't say it too loudly but the weather forecast has some dry weather, possibly for the next few days, hooray.
All shot handheld with a GH2 and 14mm lens @ f/4 in poor light. There's still an hour to go, oh well a rum and peppermint to wish the old year gone, happy new year everyone.
