West Moors photo competition captures beauty of town

Photographers in West Moors have captured the character and beauty of the local area for a competition organised by the town council.

First place was awarded to Lee Cooper for his striking image of sunlight shining through trees on the Plantation. Second place went to Colin Perry for his clever shot of the library viewed through a spider’s web, while Margaret Holden took third place with her vibrant photo of pumpkins on hay bales outside Gulliver’s Farm Shop.

The judges were Cllrs Penny Yeo and Keith Wilkes, who praised the variety of photographs submitted, each capturing the essence of West Moors and contributing to a growing archive.

All entries from the autumn competition — the first round of the new Seasonal Photographic Competition — are on display in the West Moors Town Council Office.

The winter round is open for entries until 31 January. Photos should be taken within the boundaries of West Moors and submitted in digital format, including the date and location (preferably using What3words), to office@westmoors-tc.gov.uk.
