Taken by the talented photographer Damian Grady, this print showcases the devastating flooding of River Severn at Upton upon Severn in 2019. The image transports us to a scene where nature's power is on full display. The mighty river has burst its banks, transforming the quaint town into an aquatic landscape. From above, we witness how the floodwaters have engulfed streets and buildings, leaving only rooftops and treetops visible amidst the vast expanse of water. Despite the destruction that floods bring, there is an eerie beauty to be found within this photograph.

Damian Grady's expert composition allows us to appreciate not just the scale but also the impact that natural disasters can have on our communities.
