STAR readers have been sharing some beautiful images that they have captured across the borough during winter.
The icy weather of late December and early January led to some spectacular scenery and brought the best out of the Star's camera club members and contributors.
From pictures of nature, to sunrises, sunsets and misty waters, they show plenty of beauty across St Helens.
A selection of the images are below. Thanks to everyone for their contributions.
