The members of Tullamore Camera Club continue to impress with their images of natural wonders in the Midlands.

The club sent us this selection of photos (below) which were taken by members over recent weeks.

Tullamore Camera Club is a friendly group of mixed-ability camera enthusiasts which usually meets in the Offaly History Centre (R35 Y5V0) on the last Thursday of the month.

Its next meeting will be held at 8pm on Thursday, June 26, when Dublin based photographer Fred Kelly (Raw Dublin on Instagram) will deliver a presentation. All are welcome to attend.
