I was taking some pictures of the receding flood waters on the river Wey and I like this one particularly.  The houses in the foreground are new, but the church in the background was built in 1848.

The weather has been really rainy and grey recently so it was lovely to see a bit of blue sky for My Best Photo of The Week 🙂  Hope i’m not too late!  I completely missed last week!!
