. In this print captured by FLPA/Terry Whittaker, we witness an incredible display of human resilience against nature's fury. As the River Thames swells and threatens to invade Chertsey, Surrey in England during February 2014, homeowners take matters into their own hands. With determination etched on their faces, these brave souls pile sandbags against their house doors like modern-day warriors fortifying their castle walls. The sandbags stand tall and proud, forming a formidable barrier between the raging floodwaters and precious homes.
