Flood

 

The Seine is overflowing its banks slightly as there has been snow, as you know. As it is now melting the Seine is full, as it were and overboard she goes. Boats have actually stopped running on the Seine as it is moving quickly. I don't quite understand why, but perhaps because the shorelines are now hidden, and there aren't any markers to show where the center channel is. If you look at the top picture at the point of the Ile de la Cite, there is an indentation of a window which is now almost completely submerged, and you can only see the top of the window. Kind of crazy as there is usually about 2 feet of wall beneath it. In the bottom picture at the bottom of the stairs there is a green trash bag. It is about 3 1/2 feet tall and is on the walkway which is completely submerged.

In the second from the bottom you can see the two arches of the pont de la Tournelle, and under the right arch there should be a walk way but it has been consumed by the river.
