The last few weeks have really thrown up some interesting weather, great for pictures. This week it was the turn of the rain.
Swollen rivers producing flooding. These were the scenes on Wednesday on the river mole at Flanchford Bridge.
On Friday, I worked on an assignment direct related to the floods. A shoot for Mercedes Benz
In the past the Brookland site was prone to flooding, So when the complex was built in 2006, special flood defense measures were put in place to stop the River Wey, causing the flooding damage. This was achieved by creating channels and soak aways in three different locations . The first being the 4x4 track, the second the main centre skid pan and if required the land at the bottom of the site 
As you can see these proved extremely successful, and only the places that were suppose to flood did
The skid pan full of water with the building intact, Along with the Brooklands museum and all the houses
The 4X4 track with a lot more water than usual
