Guardian Camera Club: Over the moon on photographing your area

1. Our Guardian. Whether you come by the motorway from Geneva, or the lake road, or by train, as soon as the Dents-du-Midi heave into view, you know you have reached Vevey Photograph: Over the moon/Flickr

2. The Old Town. Vevey has one of Europe's biggest market squares. Most days it is a big car park, but there's a lively market on Saturday mornings, with the stallholders in traditional costume during the summer Photograph: Over the moon/Flickr

3. Lake Geneva. Looking westwards from the steamboat piers, the place for spectacular sunsets. These bronzes by Sandoz are part of a triptych; the third one is on a fountain that doubles as paddling pool in summer, just inland. The seahorses are favourites of children and the gulls Photograph: Over the moon/Flickr

4. Fruit of the vine. The symbol of Vevey is VV, which you see everywhere, on public benches, worked into the cobblestones, on boundary stones, fire hydrants, fountains, the iron grilles protecting ground-floor windows Photograph: Over the moon/Flickr

5. Rooms with a view. One of the luxury hotels on the lake front, under observation by one of the plane trees that line the promenade Photograph: Over the moon/Flickr

6. Old-world charm. This street is home to the oldest buildings in Vevey; the shops have bulging thick stone walls and dark-beamed ceilings, and the one on the left, Un amour vache, un amour tendre, is my absolute favourite Photograph: Over the moon/Flickr
