A selection of local shots - the first ones earlier this week after we'd had really heavy rains and the fields around and river had flooded. The river is canalised for irrigation and all three channels were full - normally the main one is half this level to give an idea of how much rain there'd been. They also came to check the bridge was safe while I was there...There's a shot of fresh-water shells which had been left behind by a heron - there are also fresh-water cray fish as I've seen their shells on the banks before. The last few were taken today showing the contrast in weather -it's cold, sunny and windy - lots of fresh snow on the Alps and it's coming our way in the next few days apparently.
