February 6 - 28- Jim Graham - Traveling North

Opening Reception : Friday, Feb 6th,  5:30 - 8:30 pm

Iceland is not only closer than you think, but far different than you ever imagined. Where else can you witness such marvels of Mother Nature as a tremendous icecap and several glaciers, spouting geysers and steaming solfataras, volcanoes (hopefully dormant), raging rivers and magnificent waterfalls, a multitude of birds, cavorting whales just offshore and many other surprises. Jim Graham, Pulitzer prize nominated and Delaware native, is bringing his next adventure back home.  Exploring Iceland during the comfortable (there) summer month of August will be a visual feast to enjoy during our damp winter.  Hardcastle Gallery is pleased to once again feature Jim’s photography to kick off the second half of the exhibition season.  Join us!!
