Members of the Oxford Mail Camera Club have chosen Sue Craig Erwin's photograph of harvest fruits for their photo of the week.

Members of the Oxford Mail Camera Club have been celebrating the tradition of harvest festival by posting photographs on the club's Facebook page. The theme prompted submissions from across the region and beyond, with some photos taken locally in Oxfordshire and others from different locations.

Sue Craig Erwin's colourful image of harvest fruits displayed in front of stained glass windows was selected as the club's photo of the week. The judges noted that choosing a winner was difficult given the quality of entries received.

The modern Christian harvest festival tradition dates to the 1840s, when Rev Robert Stephen Hawker invited his parishioners to a special thanksgiving and communion service at his church in Cornwall. The harvest festival remains an important occasion for communities to celebrate and give thanks for the year's produce.
