Missenden Abbey In Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, UK. The top shot was taken about 6 years ago from the bridge you see in the photograph below. The River Misbourne is a chalk stream, and these are prone to drying up, but I have never seen it like this before. The springs in this section seem to have completely expired, but a couple of miles further downstream the river is quite full. We have had very little winter rainfall in southern England over the last couple of years and water shortage and drought warnings are on TV and radio • Top shot: Olympus mju-II (Stylus Epic in US) 35mm point and shoot with Kodachrome 64. Bottom: Canon 20D with 10-20mm Sigma, ISO 200 • © John Prior 2006 all rights reserved
