Lots and Lots of Water

The day after I made the images of Cohoes Falls in the previous post, the area received an additional 1.55 inches of rain. Both the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers rose slightly above their banks for a period yesterday.

I walked over to the Village of Waterford to document some of the scenes, carrying the EOS 60D with the 17-40 f/4L USM lens. Here some of the results with a couple scenes of normal water height for reference.

And here is a shot that shows how yesterday's high water levels compare with Irene's massive flooding in August, 2011.
