At the gallery
Nature In Motion, a study of the magical interplay between colour, movement and the natural environment is currently on display at the Summerland Art Gallery.
This show featuring photographs by Penticton resident Stephen Hancock, seeks to convey the mystery and motion of plants, trees and water through careful panning or zooming of the camera to produce a blending of colours and textures.
Gallery hours are Tuesday to Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
