Saint Helen's Wharf is a noted beauty spot on the River Thames, just upstream of the medieval bridge at Abingdon-on-Thames. The wharf was for centuries an important transport and shipping link up the Thames and between canals from Oxford and the Midlands. Here we see geese standing on the riverbank with sun reflections glittering in the water. They're probably a tad confused; after weeks of heavy rain, the water level of the river has risen by over a metre, flooding what is normally a footpath. And the willow leaves, normally some feet above the water surface, are now draped in the river.
