As I spend so much time behind the computer these days (like many other photographers I know) I try and get out and do some kind of exercise each day wether it’s hitting the gym or a long walk with my camera.

The village I live in is surrounded by small rivers and today we got hit pretty hard following receiving a lot of heavy rain overnight.

This is actually a lane leading out of the village where we have a small ford which occasionally gets a little water in it.So you can imagine my surprise to see and hear this raging torrent ripping through the road.Luckily there are some shall we say small bridges in case of floods that you can use but as you can see from the video they don’t look that robust and despite losing a fair bit of weight in the last few months I’m still not waif like ! So it was a bit concerning going over but I’m glad to say I stayed dry !

It seems this car driver didn’t fancy his chances much either and decided to turn around.
