Majestic mountains have the power to move us, from sublime views of mountain ranges to intimate scenes of mountain valleys.  The ocean is also another compeling subject for photographers, in all its myriad forms.  For the exhibition MOUNTAINS AND SEA, we seek photographs that feature either mountain views or photos that feature the sea, in any form. Alan Nyiri, publisher of numerous books that feature photographs of mountains and the ocean, will be the juror.  Alan will choose 40 photographs for display at PhotoPlace Gallery from  September 3 through September 28th.
