"This Time. This Place." Photography exhibit

"This Time. This Place." Photography exhibit

Local photographers get the opportunity to exhibit their work showing City Open Space lands.

The exhibit of photographs displays images taken by local photographers that show New Mexico’s rich, cultural landscapes.

The photographers say the images call to mind the essence of Open Space as seen through their eyes, captured at a particular time and place.

On display will be images from each of the three major areas of our Open Space lands: the Rio Grande Valley and Bosque, the West Mesa, and the foothills of the Sandia Mountains.

The Open Space Visitor Center says the goal of this exhibition is to present the beauty of our natural environment as well as the tension between human influence and land preserve.

This event if free and runs until June 30, 2013. The Open Space Visitor Center is located at 6500 Coors Blvd., located east of Coors Blvd. at the end of Bosque Meadows Rd. which is between Montano Blvd. and Paseo del Norte.
