This is the River Tyne this morning after yet another fall of snow this weekend. This is the view from the East Gateshead foreshore looking west along the River towards Newcastle and you can see St James Park at the centre on the horizon home of Newcastle United.
The River Tyne rises in County Durham & Northumberland because it splits into the South Tyne which turns up towards Alston in Durham and the North Tyne which heads north towards Bellingham and eventually Kielder Water the Biggest man made reservoir in the UK which holds 200 million cubic metres of water.
The River Tyne is 100km long about 62 miles from its primary source the South Tyne.
Here's a link to some great pictures of the Tyne on Flickr
