Jaw dropping does not do justice to this exhibition. Our created world has beauty in front of us on every side every day. Take that raw material, mix it with creative adventurous people armed with skill and awesome technology then display on the walls the selected best from their efforts and the results will stop you in your tracks.
Walking around this space my brain was telling me “How much beauty can I absorb this hour?” These photographers do stuff on animals, birds and fish. They have sent in snaps from every part of the planet and all seasons and times of the day. They reveal stuff maybe Attenborough has not seen. It boggles the mind to see this selection of our created world on the wall in such rich texture and colour.
I was not allowed to take pictures of the pictures for copyright reasons so I have for my own recollection I have attached pictures of the nature inspired indigenous art works that are woven into the exhibition space.
Perhaps the most marvelous part of this were the three or four categories for the under 18 year olds. Some of their work was truly amazing.
The web link with some of the pictures is below also.
