A Weymouth postman has won an annual competition for his stunning photograph taken on Portland.

Amateur photographer, Gerry White won the annual Old Pulteney ‘Wish You Were Here’ photography competition with his stunning photograph called ‘Just Look!’.

Beating thousands of entries, the winning photograph captures the vast coast and countryside, with a majestic and calming sunset being overlooked by a wandering pony.

Mr White, a loving husband and postman for almost 28 years, said: “I’m shocked and delighted to win. I was on a long walk and had stopped to take in the view. On this particular occasion, I noticed that I wasn’t the only one appreciating the scenery and I managed to capture a really special moment. I can’t wait to visit the distillery and I’ll likely spend the money on a seaside holiday and some more camera equipment to continue my hobby.”

The ‘Wish You Were Here’ photography competition aims to honour Old Pulteney’s nautical heritage and celebrate the British love for the seaside.

The single malt scotch whisky company, fondly known for its ‘maritime malt’, invited Brits to revitalise the concept of the traditional ‘wish you were here’ postcard for a chance to win a £2,500 cash prize and a visit to the Pulteney Distillery.

Jeremey Sutton-Hibbert, a professional photographer and competition judge, said: “It was such a pleasure reviewing all of the entries - enthusiasm and passion for the coast really shone through and it reminded me that we live in a beautiful part of the world. While it was a tough decision, Just Look! stood out to me and is a worthy winner. It really made me wish I was there, walking, enjoying the fresh air, the light of the coast, hearing the horse, before heading home for a golden dram.”
