Derwent this evening

[AndyS2]

After all the rain we've had in Sheffield today I thought I pop out to Derwent and see if the water was coming over the top of the dam, boy was it ever!





Not the greatest pics as there was a massive amount of spray in the air that kept getting on the lens.

England has really copped it this month. We've had the driest June on record - believe it or not there is a bit of a water shortage on the west coast! I went up to the resovoir that provides water for many round here (not us), and couldn't believe how low the water level was. Todays pic is taken with me standing in what is usually 6 feet of water.
