This was taken last week during our recent "100 year flood". This is the Hudson River flooding Route 28 in North River, located in the Adirondack Mountains. The last time flood waters forced closure of this road was back in 1870. If you look closely you can see two brave kayakers just to the left of the sign reading "Hudson River".

Eek!

This is really graphic Zack- well composed with all the right elements in all the right places. The kayakers are hard to see in this format, but I suspect they'll be more visible in larger versions viewed close. They're a nice element for "discovery" by viewers who take the time to look closer.

That's a lot of water. I love the colors in this image and the sense of movement in the water.

That's some different rush hour traffic you have there in upstate NY

I love when rivers reclaim some of the area they once had, even if only for a short time. I hope all is well and no ill effects where produced from the flooding.

Wow! To quote my employer's mantra: Turn around, Don't Drown!

Wow! I drive this route every summer. With this dramatic photo, it will never look the same to me again. Thanks,
