Wiltshire in Pictures: Harvesting, minions and sun

It has been a busy week for Wiltshire photographers, with clear skies allowing the county to shine in all its glory.

Meanwhile walkers braved the heat to raise more than £100,000 for Salisbury Hospital's Stars Appeal, a time capsule was buried at Longleat, and new mobile library vans were unveiled.

Nightlight: The clear nights allowed the moon to shine so bright that farmer David White could capture magical scenes on the Marlborough Downs.

Out in force: More than 2,000 people took part in a sponsored walk for Salisbury Hospital's Stars Appeal at Wilton House on Sunday, some in fancy dress such as minions costumes. Many of those taking part dedicated their walk to loved-ones and more than £100,000 was raised.

Time after time: A time capsule was sealed at Longleat to mark the building of a new hippo complex. Dignitaries including Wiltshire Council leader Ian Thorn and Mayor of Warminster Andrew Cooper were in attendance.

A wheel-y good read: Wiltshire Council has launched new mobile library vans, which will help to improve rural and residential access to books. The vehicles will serve 318 stops and are wheelchair-accessible.

Golden glow: BBC Weather Watcher Mark from Bishopstone captured this arable scene in the early morning, with crops almost ready for harvesting.

Reflections: At the opposite end of the county, snaphappydave has been wandering the meadows of Salisbury on the hunt for photographic perfection. He captured this image of a leaning tree, mirrored in a calm river.

View from a horse: As temperatures heat up over the weekend, the already parched fields of west Wiltshire will turn increasingly brown. BBC Weather Watcher G Man captured this patchwork effect from above Westbury White Horse.
