The days are getting longer, spring is almost here and millions have now had their first dose of the vaccine - there are more signs of better time ahead as these pictures illustrate.

'Light at the end of the tunnel' is the new monthly theme for our camera club members and whether they have interpreted it literally or metaphorically, they have captured some wonderful scenes this week as you can see by scrolling through the images below.

The Watford Observer Camera Club is a Facebook-based group. It is open to all photographers – from those who use snap pictures on their phones, to professionals who capture perfect shots with specialist equipment.

Every month, the camera club is set a new challenge, a theme is selected and then the work starts.

Search for Watford Observer Camera Club on Facebook. Ask to join the group and we’ll accept you.
