"Flood: A Force of Nature Unleashed" In times of crisis, the power of a they are be both devastating and awe-inspiring. Just like the iconic WW2 poster that urged citizens to "Keep Calm and Carry On, " the activities of the 52 (Lowland) Division during wartime exemplified resilience in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon the old Newcastle Bridge, we are reminded of how floods have shaped history. From Waterloo Battle in 1815 to Phra Mae Thorani's mythical twist of her long hair, releasing torrents that created a catastrophic flood - these events showcase nature's unstoppable force. The image capturing flooding in Felixstowe serves as a stark reminder that even modern society is not immune to its wrath. It prompts us to reflect on Noah's Ark, depicted anonymously in tempera on panel; an enduring symbol representing humanity's quest for survival amidst chaos. Contemplating what we would do if London flooded tomorrow forces us to confront our own vulnerability. Would we rise above it like Hicks' portrayal of Noah's Ark from 1846? Or would we rely on innovative solutions such as flood barriers seen in the Netherlands? From picturesque scenes along Scotland's Dockart River or at Sidlesham's Old Mill surrounded by floods dating back to 1910, one thing becomes clear - floods have been part of our existence since time immemorial. They shape landscapes and test human ingenuity. So let us learn from history and embrace preparedness. Whether it be through improved infrastructure or community initiatives, together we can mitigate future catastrophes caused by this formidable force known as a flood. Remember, just like water finding its way through streets captured in CC73_00433 photograph or flowing under Killin’s Dockart bridge – adaptability is key when facing nature’s relentless might. Let us strive for balance between harnessing water for our needs while respecting its immense power.
