How the river changes

The sub editor ventured to Varen this morning for the first (non-medical) time in several weeks and was shocked to see how the recent floods had altered the topography around the Moulin de Varen. The river floods here on a regular basis, but this year was exceptional and several small islands have disappeared. Here is a photo I took in calmer times, with a tranquil fishing scene, compared to the bare banks we saw this morning.
