    Pretty bad, but it would have been better not to tinker with the colours to make the "after" images look artificially darker and grungier.

      It's hard to imagine the human cost of this disaster.

        WHS. This was especially noticeable on hills higher than would have been reached by the water.

            Or maybe they had the luxury of waiting for a nice bright summer's day to take the "before" shots, whereas the "after" shots had to be taken in whatever early March weather conditions happened to be prevailing.

              I wondered that myself. I'm no expert at photo's so I'd assumed it was an effect of the light.

                I considered the cause of the difference to be of secondary importance to there being a difference, and the mental jiggery pokery required to try to negate it. Maybe it's easier just to look at the cars and buildings, or lack thereof. I saw similar before and after satellite images on TV, so the marked colour difference, if it was of human origin, wasn't limited to 'enthusiastic' newspaper staff.

                  Or simply a different time of day. There's possibly a lot of smoke in the atmosphere now as well.

                    Probably; you'd expect the fields that were green in summer to be brown now as it's just about the end of winter; there won't be much growing in the fields; possibly only just sown with new seed, whereas the 'before' pics showed fields full of veg.

                      If you look at parts of the pictures where the water didnt reach, tops of buildings etc, then the colours is not "dingy". The airport shots are good examples. The roof and boarding gantries are still clean and white. Think about the colour of the water in the videos, it's black and full of debris and mud, all of which will have been dumped and left behind when it receeded turning everything black. Think about pictures of the inside of a house after it's been floodeded. Covered in mud and sludge.
