Water level on the Chain Bridge

I guess it must measure about 8.5 meters, although when we got home we read that it was 8.89. Anything above about six meters is a flood.

For a photographic comparison of natural and flood levels, see the two images at:

Nikon D700 ,Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR Zoom
1/640s f/6.3 at 300.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

hard to get a real sense of the gravity, yet it seems the bridge is under a major assault, with some leeway still evident...hopefully the builders were correct in their calculations..
