The water is still high along the river. The winter thaw and runoff is a constant in Spring. This part of the province isn’t too badly effected this year although parts of the country are having a very hard time of it. This is about as close as we get to “swamp-like” conditions and like the other images from Hudson, Quebec I featured last week, I was struck by the tranquility of the scene.

Such an atmospheric photo and evocative in colour and in black and white. I really like both versions.

I very nice scene and good to see the trees producing some buds. Hopefully they like having wet feet.

Thanks Ellen. The trees are in full leaf now. I think they’re accustomed to all that water.

Sweet shot! We live right on a river, the Iroquois River, and high water can be very beautiful (and, at times, intimidating); i’m glad we are on high ground! 🙂

In this case, the b/w is dramatic, but the colour photo emphasizes the water level more. Love this photo even though it’s bad news.

We’ve always had spring flooding but it seems to be getting more severe.
Thanks Anneli.

I agree. It seems like all sorts of climatic changes and weather related events are more severe.
