Many parts of eastern Massachusetts flooded in March and April of 2010. It wasn't anywhere near catastrophic as Australia's recent floods or the infamous flooding that seems to happen pretty regularly in the middle of the country, but the marshes much of this part of the state are built on lend themselves to similar, if less dramatic, scenes. Unfortunately, this was all I could capture as the waters began to recede.
In Tewksbury, the Shawsheen River tore apart this bridge that was underwater the day before I reached it. It has yet to be repaired.
This house is right next to the river. It didn't fare too well. The owners seemed resigned to simply cleaning it out and letting it go.
I'm pretty sure the bottom of the garage door signifies the highest water level. It would have lifted up as the water rose.
Many thanks to my brand new, refurbished Epson v700. May it scan many more negatives, and not get abused by hundreds of photo students who don't know what they are doing.
