Budapest, Hungary.
As the spaces, even miniscule spaces due to 'grain size' of earth fill with water there will be permanent flood plains where there was once none.
Photographer states :: 2006/04/06 18:12 CEST. The water-level of the river Danube increased continually for seven days in a row. Yesterday the flood culmination had eventuated with a depth of 860 centimetres at Budapest. Since then the water level decreased a bit - 20-22 centimetres. Most seriously affected are the localities situated in the landscape called the Bend of Danube. Flooded places are in the north-western suburbs of the capital city, too. I took this picture on the right side of the river Danube; the Margaret island is in the background. It is raining.
