Türkiye and Morocco: A Journey Through Natural and Cultural Masterpieces
Jim Neale

This presentation offers a visual tapestry of two extraordinary lands – Türkiye and Morocco – where continents meet and civilizations intertwine. We’ll explore breathtaking landscapes, from the surreal fairy chimneys of Cappadocia to the golden dunes of the Sahara, from the rugged coastlines of the Aegean to the High Atlas mountains. We’ll visit the bustling bazaars of Istanbul and Marrachesh and the whirling dervishes of Konya. We’ll step through centuries of history etched into ancient ruins, imperial cities, grand mosques, and desert kasbahs.

Bio:
Jim’s primary photographic interests are travel and action of all kinds. He and his partner Donna travel several months each year, seeking out places and experiences that are unique and compelling. Sometimes he comes back with reasonable images but photography is not his primary reason for travel, nor do they ever do justice to the magic of the experiences. You can preview some of Jim’s images on his Flickr page (https://www.flickr.com/photos/jimneale/albums).

Svalbard: A Frozen World
Katherine Kepkay

Svalbard, a remote Norwegian archipelago in the High Arctic, is a beautiful frozen world located about 600km from the North Pole. It is known for its dramatic landscapes, extensive glaciers and unique wildlife such as polar bears, walruses, Arctic foxes, Svalbard reindeer and many bird species. Despite its remote location, this pristine environment is fragile, a casualty of climate change and one of the fastest warming places on Earth.

Bio:
I’ve been interested in photography ever since I was gifted a Brownie camera as a young child. As years passed, photography took the form of snapshots documenting life’s important moments. It wasn’t until retirement when I purchased my first pricey DSLR camera that it became a serious hobby and ever since then, I’ve been down the photography gear rabbit hole. In 2019, I joined PGNS which has given me opportunities to hone my craft and creativity in this medium. Photography has allowed me to see the world differently though the lens, explore new perspectives, and tell the visual stories of my travel adventures whether it is to faraway places or just my backyard.
