A COUNTY Durham photographer has been honoured for his picture of one of the most iconic landscapes of a neighbouring county.
The Landscape Photographer of the Year awards attract thousands of entries with the top prize scooping £10,000.
While John Robinson, of Peterlee, did not win the overall award, he was judged to have taken the snap that would encourage people to visit Britain after submitting his photo of sunset over the heather-strewn moorland near Roseberry Topping, near Great Ayton, North Yorkshire
An image of a small stream created by heavy rain among vast Glencoe mountains scooped the major honour for Mark Littlejohn, from Penrith, Cumbria.
The winning entries will be exhibited on the recently-built mezzanine level at Britain's busiest station, London Waterloo, from December 1 and in the Landscape Photographer of the Year awards book.
