And there’s no better time than World Photography Day (Friday, August 19) to celebrate the wonderful scenery Wearside has to offer.
Ahead of today’s milestone – an annual celebration of photography and its history – we called on the Echo readers to send in their best pictures from the year so far.
The submissions were something special.
From wildlife views to local landmarks; here are some of your striking shots in celebration of World Photography Day.
