Camera club: Pub glowing in sunshine is photo of the week
That was our latest weekly theme, and it prompted club members to post a series of striking photos taken in Oxford, across Oxfordshire and beyond.
A popular choice was stained glass windows at lots of different churches and cathedrals.

It was, as usual, difficult to pick a winner for photo of the week but in the end we selected Lesley Tilson’s picture of a pub on the coast, glowing in the sunshine.
Each week, members are given a theme and then post their photos on the club’s Facebook page.
A selection of photos are then featured in the Oxford Mail, The Oxford Times and online, and one photo is chosen as the photo of the week.
For more information about camera club and how to join visit the club’s Facebook page. The next theme is Easter celebrations.

“Our shopper described the entrance as ‘not inviting’ thanks to the ‘bin right next to the door’ with “a number of cigarette butts sat on top”.
“And things did not get much better from there.
“The store was ‘very tired and messy, with poor lighting’ and ‘rubbish all over the floor’.
“Overall, there was ‘nothing to like’ about a ‘cluttered’ store where it was ‘very hard to find products’.
“In fact, the only positive our shopper could muster about the whole experience was getting ‘time with my daughter’.”
Meanwhile, the best supermarket in Oxfordshire was the Waitrose in Botley Road where the mystery shopper praised the praised the “great” layout and described the store as “clean, tidy and litter-free” with “a good range of products available”.
Sainsbury’s at Heyford Hill came in second place by the mystery shopper thanks in part to its “fairly modern” interior.
Asda has been approached for a response.
