Your chosen shot shows your area, but I prefer the water action in the 1st one above.

Interesting, thanks. I'm always amazed how things like this were built in the middle of nowhere before the days of trucks and cranes.

Looks ready to overflow the banks Gary, Same as the rivers in my neck of the woods.

River is probably quite a lot higher now after all the rain we've had the last couple of days, at least here in Cornwall.

All of the images give an idea of the amount of rain we've had recently and the desolate conditions, but my favourite is probably the third because (to me) it gives an uninterrupted view of how much water there is and a sense of how fast it is moving. Great subject to start this year, and good luck with your 52!

To my mind we haven’t had a fully dry day since the cold snap a few weeks ago, the river has been up and down several feet since I took the photos

The frost really helps to show the structure of the web, just been reading about spider webs on wikepedia and very interesting.
One bit of info from from wiki
"The web is electrically conductive which causes the silk threads to spring out to trap their quarry, as flying insects tend to gain a static charge which attracts the silk"

That's definitely an incomplete web there, the frost and the angle of the picture works really well.

Is that frost where you are Gary? I think that we've finally gotten past the frost point here.

Your area - I do prefer the photo with more movement in the water.
Incomplete - Well captured web, it almost amazes how intricate the design can be. Given how wide an area it spans It must have taken a bit of time to complete.

Striking photograph. Could be an inner CD sleeve s*** for a trendy indie band.

Great shot, taking a picture through water like that is so difficult I find
