Two from the river Coe. The water was raging partly due to heavy ran but also snow melt...

In spate.... I have never heard or read of that expression before. Does it mean at flood stage or what?

Number one for me, very nice......

Nice, I like the crop in number two, but I like the color in number one.

It usually means sudden flood. In this case this river is normally little more than a large stream. But when heavy rain coincides with snow melt it becomes a very fast moving river.

Nice set. That would be fun to ride in a kayak or canoe.
