As we transition from summer to Autumn, we watch as our landscapes change in preparation for the colder months. The long summer days become shorter, and we see the leaves on our trees change their colour to those autumnal hues of orange and brown, before they begin to fall to the ground.

Our theme for September’s photography competition was ‘local landscapes’ and we receive some fantastic entries from across Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside. From rolling hills to sandy beaches and even a murmuration in the morning sky, the quality of the entries we received this month, was incredible.

Unfortunately, there can only be one winner. The winner of September's photography competition is … Deborah Shackleton!

A huge thank you to everyone who sent in their wonderful images! The winner will be contacted via email with details of how to redeem their £100 optics voucher prize.
