Well, Spring is definitely here, but little did I know that it meant flood season. While the sky is bright and sunny, somehow the Dunube river grows and grows, covering the park and getting closer and closer to restaurants and houses. Apparantley, the long winter and all the snow, then the sudden sunshine makes all the snow on top of the mountains in Austria and even Germany flood our Danube, and our little city. Here are some amazing pictures of our town.
This used to be the park. Instead of walking to the gazebo, now you need a boat.
Sidewalks and streets everywhere are being closed off. It's hard to get anywhere.
These people quietly survey the damage, standing in their backyards, praying the water doesn't raise any higher and flood their homes. Some have tried to blockade the water with loads of sandbags, but the waters are getting higher everyday. Some, however, put on their alligator boots and play!
Check out all my pictures in my album Duna Flood by clicking ALL PICTURES on the side bar there. It's quite a sight!
