Bramhall Park

Path by the southern lake

Looking down on the duck pond

The benches show where the path should be!

The duck ponds

This is two separate ponds, and a river at the back

Flooded benches and picnic tables

The ducks are okay though!

Benches and picnic tables

There should be three paths visible in this shot!

Canada Geese

Very confused!

Water right up to the bench seats

There is no route through to the people opposite

At the front of Bramhall Hall

Very turbulent water as it enters the middle lake (on the left)

Water crashing over bridge into lake

Again, there is no route through except by using the higher paths

Turbulent water

As it comes crashing off the path into the existing pond

Turbulent Water

In slow motion

Crashing Water

And flooding off the bridge

Crashing Water

Foaming like a beer advert

The water then floods right down the middle pond

Again, covering the path - see the bench in the centre of the shot

The stone bridge at the front of the House

Only the bridge itself is high enough to stay dry

Flooding

Covering the path

Swirling Water

As it escapes the river it crashes into the bridges and benches

Bench and Bridge flooded

Closeup of the water

Closeup of the water

Crashing over the bench

Water half way up the bridge

And comes right to the top of the underside of the bridge

Bench breaks the water into waves

The bench, bridge and the water crashing into the pond

Sun breaking through at the top of the park

Sunshine catching the rain

Stagecoach Bus splashing down the road

Car looks like it's floating on the water

Splashing through the puddles!

Splash!
