Breathtaking sunsets and foreboding skies over the Malvern Hills have been captured in a calendar.

Skies of the Malvern Hills features images by local amateur photographers and is being sold to raise money for St James's Church, West Malvern.

The inspiration came from church committee member Colin Jackson, whose photographs are among those featured.

"I was out walking my dog during one of many beautiful sunsets and thought 'wouldn't these make a wonderful calendar'," he said.

A search for local photographs began and within days Mr Jackson had more than 100 pictures.

"There were so many, it was agonising deciding which ones to go for," he said.

"We could probably make a second calendar of those we didn't use."

The work of West Malvern photographer Kenneth Walker is also featured.

Mr Walker, a regular hill climber whose interest in photography spans more than 50 years, said: "I generally take my camera everywhere because I know if I don't, a good picture opportunity will come up.

"We're lucky to have some wonderful sunsets in West Malvern, and they make good pictures."

Calendars are available at £5 from venues including St James's Church, the Brewer's Arms, The Lamb and the Chase Inn.

Proceeds will go to maintenance projects at the church, including repairs to the roof.
