This glorious sunrise snap was taken on Milsom Street in Bath
The West was treated to a show-stopping sunrise on Tuesday.
Commuters basked in a pink and yellow glow that stretched across the region as they made their way to work.
Awe-inspiring snapshots of the beautiful start to the day were captured by BBC listeners and readers based everywhere from the Forest of Dean to Frome.
The warm hues of the sky did not stop the chill from creeping in, with temperatures close to freezing.
