World Photography Day took place on Saturday, August 19 and the Burton Mail put a call out on Facebook for readers to submit pictures they had taken in and around East Staffordshire, South Derbyshire and North West Leicestershire.

Everyone in the office was wowed by all the fantastic photographs taken, so much so, in fact, that we have put together this stunning slideshow.

Readers included Chris Thompson, Sam Insley, Melissa Day, Jodi Beth, Ben Mitchell, Adele Smith, Ashleigh-Jay Bromley, Jade Woodhouse, Emily Ford, Ian Dennis, Daniel Bennett, Harrison Chambers, Dan Turner, Chris Upton, Emma Robey, Jez English, Zsofia Spanberger, Diane Wilkinson, Jon Whiting, Claire Cadd, Sylvia Hazelhurst and Maggie Cubitt.

Thank you to everyone who took time out to send their pictures.

If you have taken pictures of the beautiful scenery in the area email your pictures to editorial@burtonmail.co.uk with 'READER PICTURES' in the subject line. Alternatively, you can send them via Facebook at here

You could be in our next photographic slideshow!
