Gloucestershire in pictures: Hazy days and Farmwatch

We've certainly experienced all the seasons this week - as can be seen in another week of glorious photos in Gloucestershire.

We couldn't be luckier where we live - with our beautiful sunrises and green views for miles.

On Thursday, we were hearing from farmers about the passion they have for their work as well as the struggles they face in BBC Farmwatch.

Between the spectators and the playing surface is a white fence, about waist-high. Another grandstand is visible in the distance, and it is full of spectators.

Halo in the sky: An unusual and striking sight, thank you to Ursula for sending this one through to us. This is known to be a "sun halo" and is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that appears as a ring of light surrounding the sun or moon.

This one was captured in Cheltenham this week.
