YOUR PICTURES

Your pictures: Noon

We start this week’s gallery of readers' pictures on the theme of noon with a photo by D’Errico Dario in Rome, Italy.
Jaime Jones: "These daisies in Horseheads, New York, seemed to be smiling up at the mid-day sunshine."
Aude Emilie Dorion: "A chess game at the corner of the street in Bangkok."
Simon Popple: "Noon on a bright winters day on Scarborough Beach"
Lee Garner: "This is how the summer noontime sun lights the interior of the Pantheon in Rome on a clear day, shining through the single oculus in the centre of the dome."
Caroline Simone: "This work represents the moment of epiphany at high noon. The stones are a metaphor of my pain when I was told I had cancer 20 years before."
Matthew Levick: "The Montjuic Communications Tower silhouetted against the high noon sun in the Olympic Park, Barcelona. Taken on a day of perfect weather during a recent backpacking trip, the park was the ideal place to chill out during the midday heat."
Sampada Marathe "I took this picture of my husband exulting with joy at the summit of the Monadnock Mountain in New Hampshire, with the sun looming over his head at noon."
Sean W Leisure: "Shot at high noon while hiking the Tejas Trail of the Guadalupe Mountains of Texas."
Fred Witney: "The midday sun streaming through my window blind."
Michael Crome: "Taken from the the top of the Giralda in Seville at noon."
