Welcome to our new weekly feature when we publish your photos of the stunning Shotley peninsula.

This week the main picture is from Shotley Gate's Graham Beech who snapped the rainbow hitting the light ship in the Stour estuary, while sheltering at The Shipwreck from the rain.

Below are other random rainbow pictures.

Send us your pictures, with you name and a short caption, for inclusion to the editor: [email protected]
