Your pictures of the week: Uplifting

Last week I was claiming that the weeks pass oh so quickly, this one however has dragged as I've been struck down by a bug. I'll spare you the details but as I haven't been in the office, this weeks' selection of pictures has been chosen by my colleague on the picture desk, Emma Lynch.

You can view the 10 that Emma selected to show in a picture gallery here.

Let us know what you think by using the comment box below.

Congratulations to those whose pictures have been chosen - and if your picture didn't make it then why not try this week.

This time, we are asking you to send us your pictures on the theme: Damaged.

Interpret this in any way you see fit and send your pictures to us at yourpics@bbc.co.uk or upload them directly from your computer.

Please include the word "Damaged" in subject line of your message.

The deadline is midnight BST Tuesday 16 June, and remember to add your name and a caption: who, what, where and when should be enough, though the more details you give, the better your chance of being selected.

We will publish a selection of your photos this time next week.

Files should be sent as JPEGs. They shouldn't be larger than 10Mb and ideally much smaller: around 1Mb is fine, or you can resize your pictures to 1000 pixels across.

Please see our terms and conditions, but remember that the copyright remains with you. The pictures will only be used by the BBC for the purposes of this project. Finally, when taking photos, please do not endanger yourself or others, take unnecessary risks or infringe any laws.

Any questions or suggestions for future themes, please use the comment form and I'll get back to you.
