The Power of Nature: Flooded River Calder at Gas Works Bridge

A striking and raw look at the River Calder in full surge during a major flood event at Gas Works Bridge. The brown, churning water reaches dangerously high levels, nearly cresting the bridge's green barriers and threatening the nearby historic stone buildings. This image captures the sheer force of nature and the vulnerability of riverside infrastructure during extreme weather in West Yorkshire. Perfect for those interested in weather photography, local history, or the raw power of hydrological forces.

I took this with a Polaroid is2132 on Boxing Day 2015 when the Calder Valley was devastated by flooding. www.colingreenphotography.co.uk
