River Suir burst its banks

I apologize for the silence.

To keep the blog looking updated, I add some more November pictures of a spectacular flood of the River Suir.

On the following day the rain ceased and the flooded area slightly shrank and was disconnected from the river. It will eventually dry up in summer.

The river remains swollen and the walking trail flooded.

Heron doesn’t mind.

Thank you for your kind support.

Have a wonderful week!

  2. That’s how our neighborhood looks when a hurricane comes zipping through – luckily not that often and the water goes down pretty quick. These are quite spectacular images! Was the flooding near your home?

    1. Thankfully the wind wasn’t too bad this time. River Suir is prone to flooding after every heavy rainfall. These pictures were taken in Clonmel park and near Kilshellan bridge. Both areas have seen worse.

    1. Thank you so much! I guess we are having the same weather these days. I added some color to the pictures to brighten the blog 😉

  5. It seems you too have suffered from heavy rain. Wonderful photos proving that even in its most irksome mode our respective bouts of poor weather make fine art. Best regards, The Old Fool

    1. Thank you, Uma. This year it wasn’t that bad in our area. I remember driving with the water on both sides of the road. It was surreal 🙂

  12. Hello dear Inese,
    The views of River Suir are stunning and ethereal. I hope you were not affected by the flooding? As always, I send you all my best wishes ❤
    Your friend,

    1. Thank you so much, Takami! This flood was mostly a spectacular event, however some roads were flooded and closed, like Cork-Dublin motorway. During a bad flood the river level can rise 2m thus reaching 4m in some areas.

  13. Floods are generally not good things but you did catch some lovely shots – particularly of the bench sitting in water and surrounded by fall foliage.

  14. Just gorgeous! My blog is on hold due to eye problems so am enjoying at least your gorgeous photos!

  15. No need to apologize for the silence. Silence is good. Beautiful pictures despite mother nature’s warning to us. Love the heron and the heron would be in its element. Your pictures are a poetry speaking through photos Always a pleasure visiting your posts.

  16. Oh my goodness. It’s stunningly beautiful, but I’m aware it must be causing havoc…

    And… no apology needed – the quality of the pics you share must take time and effort to produce. I’m just so humbly grateful that you share your talent with us:)). I hope all is well with you.

    1. Thank you, Sarah! I took the pictures of the flooded park on my way from appointment, and only added some bright color to celebrate the mighty River Suir 🙂 Multiple exposure mode is built in Nikon cameras. I seldom use it, but I have a friend who has worked the technique to perfection. Autumn is the best time to use it 🙂
