A different view of the city.

HERE is this week's selection of pictures taken by local photographers and posted to the Birmingham Mail's online gallery.

The Flickr group has 140-plus members with more than 1,300 shots of everything from wildlife and local beauty spots to family days out.

This week's pictures include this picture of a Tornado aircraft, an arty shot of Livery Street in Birmingham and Brummies sheltering from the rain in this picture by Paul Tomlins.

Each week, regional picture editor Steve Murphy selects some of the images taken by the group's members and we publish them in the Birmingham Mail and Birmingham Mail Extra. Our Flickr group is a great way for readers to enjoy each other's photo-graphand we want amateur snappers to get out and about spotting interesting events and people in and around the city.

Anyone can become a member of www.flickr.com for free, then click to join the Birmingham Mail group, and upload your snaps.
