Photos of the Day for May 12, 2018

Spring flood on the Pripet (Prypjats’) River 2018.

After several years of near drought, the Pripet basin of Polesia was once again blessed with a healthy spring flood, one whose volume recalled the ample floods of 2013 and 2008.  These views give a hint of what the region looked forward to in spring for eons before Soviet and neo-Soviet “amelioration” drained much of Europe’s largest marshland and impoverished the soil.
