Splash!


Compared to rest of the country we got off very lightly but on 23rd December there was flash flooding on Dowson Road. The pavement was completely awash and pedestrians had a dreadful time.

See the scene looking in the opposite direction on Hyde DP Xtra.

  4. When I first looked at your shot, I giggled. Car Wash sign makes it funny.

    Thanks for playing today.

    Happy Blue Monday, Gerald.

  7. So many parts of the country are experiencing unusual weather this year. I do not like rainy, cold days.

  8. When I see a large vehicle approaching a wet bit of road I try to move as far into the pavement as possible to try to escape the worst of the splashing. It never helps...:-)

    Great picture...I'm happy not to be close by...
