I took the dog for a walk and after about 2 hours of walking in off-and-on rain showers, we found ourselves on the Kawasaki side of the large Tama River.
It has only been about 6 months since Typhoon Hagibis, which was on par with a Category 5 hurricane, passed through eastern Japan causing this river (and many, many more) to overflow her banks.
The flooding wiped out portions of the river bank while dumping silt and debris in other places. Parks and other areas closer to the water used to have metal fencing. Now, portions of the fences were either missing or were mangled tubes of twisted steel.
I took numerous shots from as close as I could get to the water’s edge safely, but was unable to get a satisfactory composition. Initially, I shot too wide and cluttered the shot with irrelevant structures, buildings, and train tracks.
Would love to have been able to get closer to the water’s edge with the tripod, but have no idea how that could be done and be able to any movement with water rushing around the tripod legs.
