Some snaps taken with my iPhone 3G camera of local flooding then stitched together using PhotoMerge in PS Elements.
The upturned rowing boat left of centre is normally on dry land, and yes, that is a road name sign it is tied to!
To the left of the picture is a river boat normally in the river, the edge of which is indicated by the red life belt just to it's right. A small brook normally runs along the line of the trees from right to left entering the river near the life belt.
