Spring Flood

The pond where I walk the dog. 

After the warm weather of the weekend, on the day of my birthday, all the floodgates of heaven opened and it poured down so that all rivers and lakes all over southeastern Norway flooded. Roads and railroad lines were washed out and the main highway through Norway, the E6 was closed in several places due to flooding. Trondheim and Oslo were effectively cut off from each other except by air. 

Here the local newspaper published pictures of local flooding which I have borrowed below: 

The Hobøl river overflowed its banks flooding newly sown fields.
Bad news for the Spydeberg Rock Festival.
