Gloucestershire in pictures: Sunny skies and lavender

Yet another heat wave hit Gloucestershire this week - and the views have been beautiful.

We have seen golden hours, charity walks and fields and fields of lavender. Take a browse through some of our favourite moments of the week in this corner of the world.

Golden hour: What a beautiful start to any day! This photo was taken at the start of the day this week at Berkeley by our weather watcher, SantaSusie.

Nothing beats a sunny Gloucestershire morning, does it?

Among the wildflowers: What a stunning view at Cotswold Lavender. It is now peak season for them as visitors from all over the world come flooding in.

They opened up early this year because of the heat. It meant that the lavender came out early so they had to get the gates open slightly earlier than normal.

One foot in front of the other: GWR colleagues have been walking up and down Gloucester train station's platform through the night in pairs to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK and support colleagues living with the disease.

Clever work: This picture — taken by photographer Still Photo Malone — is essentially lots of photos stacked on top of each other, 217 photos to be exact, with a 30-second exposure on each.

The photos were taken over a two hour period between midnight and 0200 BST at the Old Severn Railway Bridge.

Up in the clouds: This is how the Missing Link project is looking on the A417 - taken from a 1940s Boeing Stearman biplane by Martyn Carrington.

The £460m scheme will end up being a three-mile dual carriageway between Gloucester and Cirencester.

Never enough: We are loving the sunrise photos this week. Look at this sky in Colesbourne earlier this week.
