Chasing Reflections

Well, Worcester has flooded once again. We’ve had many days of rain ☔️ which has led to the river bursting its banks. You may be familiar with those scenes from previous posts of mine, it’s a regular event in Winter. Luckily the city copes and it doesn’t cause much damage, just lots of mud afterwards!

Anyway, I digress. 😅 Recently, I saw some photos shared in a Facebook group where someone had taken photos in puddles and used them to create reflections of buildings, this inspired me because I thought they look really cool. Those shots had floated around in my mind for a while, but I hadn’t yet had a chance to get them! Knowing how heavy the rain has been I wanted to take the camera out today and get down to the floods. Then while crouching down getting some shots of the swans I noticed one of them had a perfect reflection in the flood water, and thought now would be the chance to get the reflection shots I had been thinking of! 😄

First shot is of a swan 🦢 at the riverside (they were very happy with all the extra water, where it stands is usually a pathway!) and shot two is a lone tree 🌳 in the centre of the racecourse which is completely submerged! Hope you like. I call them – “Worcester floods, but make it arty” 😁 have a great Sunday.
