Gloucestershire in pictures: Rainbow skies and views from up high

A wet, damp week in the county can only mean one thing... Autumn is on the way!

Whether that fills you with dread or pleasure, hopefully the next few photos will please you as we round up some of our favourite moments across the week.

Because of the unexpected rain showers throughout the week, we've been blessed with some sharp rainbow skies that have caught the eye of our weather watchers.

Thanks to 'Lucid Dreamer' for the view of Brookthorpe.

From up high

What a stunning shot! Thank you to our weather watcher, 'Nicholas', for sending this through to us. It's certainly a highlight and one of our favourite photos of the week.

Airport concerns

Businesses at Gloucestershire Airport have warned the "vital regional asset" risks being broken up and sold off for housing after councils picked a buyer they claim "has no aviation knowledge".

Horizon Aero Group was named by Cheltenham Borough and Gloucester City councils as their preferred buyer after it offered more than the £25m asking price for the loss-making airport.

But RGV Aviation said the deal was full of "red flags", claiming Horizon appeared intent on "selling off parts of the airport land".

Night views

If you missed the northern lights fill the skies across Gloucestershire this week, we have good news! Ryan Bailey captured it beautifully in this shot - so a huge thank you to him for sending through to us.

Breaking through

The sunshine breaks through the clouds here, making Moreton-in-Marsh look crisp as Autumn approaches.

Thank you to our weather watcher, 'deejaycrox', for sending this along.

Colourful in nature

Look at this gorgeous, bright tit captured by photographer Emma Brookes.

A huge thank you for sending this through. What a capture!
