River Tweed, Scotland

The River Tweed at Kelso in the Scottish Borders. This is arguably Scotland's finest river's. There is an abundance of wildlife here and otters are regularly seen here in the Junction Pool. The river really does come into contact with man at the edge of the town

This was taken during the recent cold spell on a rare sunny day

I enjoy this scene very much, Ron. It does look like it was a chilly day but the beauty of the hoarfrost with the distant town and peaceful river certainly made braving the elements worthwile.

Absolutely gorgeous scenic shot Ron!! I normally like (and often include) a branch or bush when composing a shot, just not sure about the one here... regardless, it's a stunner. Thanks!
