  • Wrecked property in a flooded caravan park in the north Welsh coast community of Towyn, UK. On the fence is the reminder of what this summer holiday site would normally be like, where owners remind holidaymakers not to hang their washing on the broken fence. A combination of gale-force winds, a high tide and rough seas caused Towyn's flood defences to be breached at about 11.00am on 26 February 1990. 4 square miles (10 km2) of land was flooded, affecting 2,800 properties and causing areas of the resort to be evacuated.

  • A young woman walking along a London street is about to be splashed by a passing London double-decker bus at a flooded bus stop. After heavy rain that fell over the capital, puddles or filthy water lies in gullies and gutters of the urban streets - including this bus stop in Aldwych. The young woman is aware of the camera and walks in smart office shoes on the wet pavement (sidewalk) as the bus draws to a halt ahead. But she is more self-conscious than taking precaution not to get wet. The moment before her soaking is caught as the water laps across the kerb and into her path. In the background are the West End theatres whose productions attract drama fans from across the world.
