BBC News website readers have been sending in their photos of the floods across central Europe. Andrew Learoyd was trying to get his daughter to Salzburg airport, Austria, on Monday so she could get home in time for an A-level exam. When they came across this in their path, just outside the village of Dienten in Pinzgau, they turned back and re-booked a flight for another day.

Freddie Swaine and her boyfriend Stefan Weinfurtner live in Regensburg, Germany. Freddie: "The water levels rose again last night to about 6.8m which is around the limit of the flood defences. This morning the main street along the river Thundorferstrasse was closed with only small amounts of water spilling over. It seems like the worst is now over... and the rain has finally stopped."

Jiri Kurcik took this photo on Monday night before Vltava reached its maximum. Jiri: "It's now slowly decreasing, but it's still over 12 times more than normal flow."

Martina Antosova is in Bratislava. She took this photo near the Old Bridge at the right side of the riverbank of Danube, overlooking the historical centre where you can see the Bratislava Castle and the St Martin's Cathedral and other historical buildings. The other side of the town across Danube is not that badly affected because of flood barriers and a much higher bank.

Roger Allen, who lives in Prague, says: "Boats have stopped travelling on the river since the weekend due to the height of the water and the strength of the currents. Friends of mine who live in basement apartments have been evacuated and underground shopping malls are also closed."

Paul Cunningham in Prague: "The Czech government are doing everything in their power and at least on the streets it is business as usual." You can send you photos to yourpics@bbc.co.uk. For terms and conditions go to www.bbc.co.uk/terms
