SHORTLIST GALLERY : England - East : The Human Landscape

Camera: Canon EOS 500, USM IS 28-135mm

Floods on Jesus Green, Cambridge
I shot this in February 2002 when the River Cam flooded - the man and boy were standing there by chance. Note that only the first of the row of lamps along the path is burning (and is slightly crooked). A friend of mine pointed out that the picture could be seen as a reference to climate change, with the man and the boy at the edge of the flood, and only one (last?) crooked lamp burning.
