SKYGAZERS were treated to a spectacular sunset over Dorset on Tuesday evening.

Residents captured a beautiful rainbow and some colourful clouds amid a dramatic sunset after heavy rain showers.

Members of the Echo Camera Club Dorset grabbed their cameras to capture the scenes.

Here are just some of our favourite pictures.
