Flood (and not the Rowan design)

It took me two and a half hours to get home from work yesterday, because the main road in town was flooded. Luckily the bridge near me is a bit higher than that, but:

These trees aren't supposed to be under water


Here is an AP photo of the area where it was really flooded. I saw some more impressive things on the way home from work today (the road is not closed now) but it wasn't possible to get a picture, so here's the best I can find:

I kind of agree with Anna Jóna that the yarn is a bit busy for the pattern. But I really like the pattern anyway, and I don't think I am too fond of how this Opal Flamingo looks plain knit. Now that I am almost done with one sock, I have this pattern finally in my head. So it's not exactly an easy knit, but it's not that hard either. Just one you have to keep track on.
