The schools are back, people can begin to visit loved ones in care homes and the number of people to receive the vaccine continues to grow with each day that passes - the light at the end of the tunnel continues is glowing a little brighter.

‘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 again captured some lovely pictures around the Watford area and elsewhere this week as you can see by scrolling through this page.

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.

In addition to Tracey Phillipps' picture of the lovely light across Chorleywood Common, this week’s selection of images were taken by:
