EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a boat when you have a coastal road turned into an aquatic wonderland? Welcome to the flooded coast road and marshlands of Cley-next-the-sea, where Mother Nature decided to give us all a surprise water park experience! This incredible photo captures the aftermath of a tidal surge in December 2013, turning this usually serene landscape into a watery paradise. As the stormy waves from the North Sea clashed with the British coastline, roads became rivers and marshes transformed into submerged havens. The signposts that once guided cars now stand tall as brave soldiers amidst the floodwaters, reminding us of nature's power over man-made structures. This extraordinary scene showcases both the beauty and unpredictability of our temperate European weather. It's like witnessing an underwater ballet performed by resilient marine creatures who gracefully adapted to their new environment. With seawater glistening under winter sunlight, it's hard not to be mesmerized by this surreal sight. Cley Marshes Reserve has always been known for its diverse habitats and rich wildlife, but who knew it would also become a playground for adventurous souls willing to take on some impromptu water sports? So grab your surfboard or kayak (or maybe just your wellies) and dive right into this unexpected aquatic adventure! Remember folks: when life gives you floods, make sure you capture them in stunning photographs like FLPA/Robin Chittenden did here!
