Mike these are stunning shots. I hate the sadness that had to happen to allow you to get them, but all emotion aside, the images are typically terrific and B&W is perfect. Adding a light moment to the situation if I may - I love the wellies in the 3rd shot, especially the spotty ones on the lady.

Terrible flooding though, absolutely devastating. My mum was telling me this weekend that pasrts of the UK are getting the worst floods in about 1000 years! I can't even get my mind around that one. My heart goes out to all those who are suffering in any way as a result.

Great shots and sentiments Mike. Just cant imagine the feelings of these folks. Having your home "molested" by an intruder, in this case water. Given thier resilience and ability to tackle it head on, they must have iron constitutions. Thanks for this tribute. PAUL

The black and white is perfect for these, and thanks to Nicky, I now know what wellies are! I learn so much here!

Mike great post and gesture! Good shots also look like something right out of the newspaper!

What better way to never forget than photography?

Your photographs never fail to amaze me. You have such an amazing eye for capturing people and the moment they are in.

It's terrible when nature has the power to cause this sort of devastation, however these shots are awesome and suit the B&W mode cheers Steve and thanks for sharing. Love your avetar photo also for this one.

Great set! The black and white is superb, how did you get them so contrasty - I can't ever seem to manage that digitally.

Awesome shots of a really bad time. You captured it well. I feel for anyone this happens to.

Floods are a terrible thing. I think people underestimate the damage a flood can do...especially when the water stands as long as it does. That aside, these are great b/w shots. Super composition and contrast. Thanks for sharing.
