Flood Alert

Many stretches of the Thames are on flood alert. This was taken just above Mapledurham lock today.
The Mill and Mapledurham House can be seen in the background behind the safety barriers above the weir. The water level here, though high, is being controlled by having flood gates at the weir open. This made the stream very fast and the water level below the lock extremely high - the moorings were submerged several feet below the water line.
