The sun is rising earlier as spring’s on its way, making for some incredible photo opportunities, as our Picture of the Week shows.

The winning snap, posted by Steven Bailey (@HermanBailey43) on Tuesday, perfectly captures the stunning views on offer on the outskirts of our town.

Steven said: “I woke up, looked out of my bedroom window and saw the sunrise and just knew I had to get out and take some pictures.”

The inaugural winner of our competition, Steven’s picture will also be shared in our newspaper and Instagram page.
