The Thames flood-plain underwater. The view is west along Quarry Wood Road from a point almost underneath the Marlow by-pass bridge. The spire of Marlow parish church is visible to the right of centre. The road was quite passable, though the water level in the fields was no more than a few inches below road level. Looking down from higher ground it was clear that hundreds of acres of the Thames flood-plain were under water in the area around Temple, Bisham and Marlow - with the Berkshire side perhaps worse affected than Buckinghamshire. A shot taken by Shaun Ferguson Image shows these fields (from the west) as they were in February 2010 - very much drier. Nigel Cox stood behind me - so to speak - to take a photo of the area as it is in summer: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/489942 This sequence continues with: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3805969
