It is 3 days since I last walked with the dogs at the lake. The water is rising more slowly now, and is supposed to reach it's peak in the middle of next week.
The above pictures were taken on the path leading to my thinking spot (now under water). The top picture from monday morning, the bottom picture from today. You can see that thin tree that on monday was only just getting it's feet wet, is now well out in the water.
My alternative thinking spot after the usual one became inaccessible. Top: sunday. Bottom today. You can still get to the stone from the back, but I sat in the fork of the tree overlooking the water instead.
Remember on monday, how I said the road was beginning to flood, and would only have been passable with rubber boots (top)? Today (bottom) you can't even see where the road goes after it dissapears into the water. You can also see how the water is spreading into the forest floor on either side.
We had to take a different road and I took these pictures of a spot where people come to picnic and where Ingvild used to camp with her friends in the summer. It is all under water now. Lucy is having fun splashing around, and you can see the "no camping" sign in the middle of the lake. (the sign refers to parking campers there; tent camping is allowed).
