Look Here! A Mountaintop With A View
Nelms Gallery Opening Saturday
By The Morning News
Five years worth of work in nature photography will soon be on display on a mountaintop in the Ozarks.
The Nelms Gallery in Jasper will host its grand opening from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday.
About 185 nature photos taken by Don Nelms have been printed on stretched canvas and will be available for viewing.
The gallery and its contents are meant to foster affection for and awareness of the natural beauty in the area and the need to preserve such environments.
“This is something to bring people into the realm of what I see and what can be seen here,” Nelms says. “The Buffalo River is one of the most unique places in America. In its own subtle ways, it has a tremendous beauty.”
In addition to the nature photos on display, the gallery has 3 miles of hiking trails, ponds and a picnic area to enjoy.
