EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness nature's mischievous side as floodwaters invade the house gardens of Chertsey, Surrey. The River Thames, feeling a bit adventurous in February 2014, decided to pay an unexpected visit to its neighboring dwellings. As if on a secret mission, these floodwaters stealthily submerged everything in their path. Gardens that once flourished with vibrant blooms and lush greenery now resembled enchanting underwater wonderlands. Houses stood tall amidst the watery chaos like brave warriors guarding their territory against the playful river. The scene is reminiscent of an epic battle between man and nature; however, it seems Mother Nature had the upper hand this time. Floodplains transformed into temporary lakes while riverside buildings became islands surrounded by freshwater moats. While some may see only environmental damage caused by these relentless floods, others might find beauty in this extraordinary spectacle. It serves as a reminder of our humble existence within nature's grand design and teaches us resilience in times of adversity. So let us marvel at Terry Whittaker's remarkable capture - frozen forever in time - where homes meet water and gardens become aquatic playgrounds. A true testament to how even during challenging moments, there is always room for awe-inspiring surprises!
