Bonjour, cher Ian,
Ce sont les grandes eaux ! Cela ne semble pas inqui閠er l'homme assis au premier plan.
Une image saisissante !
Amiti閟.

Witaj Lan!
Such a view is not optimistic.
Interesting place, curious scene from daily life.
Good reportage shot.
Well done.
Good evening.

Hi Ian

I hope there were no snakes displaced from their hiding places and swimming around in the flood waters which is what happened in Grafton in 1974. Good sharpness and nice reflections. Tfs!

Hello Ian,
It's an unpleasant situation but a good photo, especially thanks to the inclusion of the seated man. These floods seem to be happening more often and must be causing a lot of damage. Increasing global heating won't make things better.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Ian,

This would be a scene monitored by the media, with fingers pointing at which political party was responsible for not caring sufficiently for their constituents, if this happened in the U.K.
Yet the guy on the left is a real calming influence as the people wade through the water or stand watching, from the bridge.
It is a very well exposed and composed photograph.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Ian,

A very pleasant picture with the water and reflections, but not pleasure for the habitants
Pleasant depth and perspective too.
Nice sharp and clear photography.
Pleasant composition, TFS.

Regards,
John.

Nothing special, Vietnamese-style. Floods are quite common and not really a reason not to drink coffee:)

Hello Ian, I saw high water in Hoi an, but not so high. probably it was very warm, so fun to go in water like this. Excellent composition with this man observing and well equipped. Lovely colours and reflections, beautiful boats.

Best regards MAlgo

Hi Ian,

There was bad floods in spring 2017 and 2019 in my area, a lot of persons have been affected. The point of view is showing the rising water, the details of the trees and of the bridge. It is clear and sharp. Have a nice day.

Hi Ian, an interesting if somewhat disturbing scene which benefits greatly from the position of the man watching from the side. cheers, Steve

Hi Ian,
interesting scene. When we experience floods in Europe people are evacuated or in panic run around to save their belongings while here we see a guy almost enjoying the view. I suppose people are used to it.
The question of course remains how high the water lever rises. If you are certain that you can walk back than it is fun but what if it becomes too deep to walk?
Great street scene,
M

Hello Ian,

Excellent capture! I like the relaxed attitude of this chap! No matter what, one should keep its cold blood!

Best Wishes,
Gy.

Ian, this man is sat on a concrete platform. He is watching the flood, it is a spectacle and a disaster at the same time. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
