misty bench view
The perfect place to sit and watch the sunrise and clearing mist over the beautiful tweed valley in the scottish borders…
See also morning glow and mist in the valley
I hesitated to post this one earlier but it does rather combine two of my favourite things….
cheers and comments most welcome..
