Both photos are today revealed as winners in the 2012 Take a View landscape photographer of the year competition.

Simon Butterworth’s Port Glasgow street took the Urban View award, while the shot of Loch Ard by Paul Bundle, of Cheshire, won the Living the View category.

The main £10,000 prize was awarded to Staffordshire’s David Byrne, for his photograph of two upturned fishing boat sheds with  Lindisfarne Castle in the background.
