Wharfedale, Yorkshire
I am not sure that Wharfedale will look quite so peaceful this December. Heavy rains have created record flood levels across much of Yorkshire and Lancashire. Rivers, like the Wharfe above, seen from above Kirk Bank near Grassington, will be swollen with flood waters all rushing to fill the valley bottoms of Yorkshire’s Industrial heartland.
When this picture was taken the biggest weather threat was that the receding snows on the moors beyond Wharfedale would be returning.
