High Waters After Two Days Of Heavy Rain
Rain was pouring down in our part of the world for the last two days. The water levels have risen all over Slovenia. There are no major floods yet although these are expected in the lower course of some rivers.
These photos were taken today in the afternoon along the river Sava just north of Ljubljana. The river has reached its high point, the main stream is brown and flowing down like wild. Nothing can escape this force of nature.
Here was a small pebble beach and the path down to it. The beach is flooded and the path is gone.
Trees growing out of the river? No, the river came to them.
The majestic force of the nature.
These eaten out banks of the river tell us that the river was even higher several years ago.
Fresh cracks in the bank which will fall any time now.
These trees are growing well fifty meters away from the usual bank of the river.
Better and better!
I wish the planet could share the rain to the parts that need it so there wouldn't be any flooding. : )
I wish that too. Unfortunately the powers above work against these wishes.
Thanks for your reply.
Stay safe! Flooding can be extremely dangerous!
Thank you for your concern.
Fortunately this particular area of the river is not known for major floods. There were some landslides and power outages but no casualties so far. Let's hope it will stay so.
That is great news! You got some great photos though!
Thanks!

Powerful! Rain season was sometimes very bad in Bali because all garbage came with the floods. Strange weather for sure. My friend told me it was snowing in Munich today

These photos are taken with low end smartphone.
I was kicking my ass because I left my camera at home.
