The Atmosphere Exposed: Photographs of Halos, Mirages, Iridescent Clouds, … and More
For the first time in the thirty history of the International Light and
Color in the Open Air Conference a corresponding exhibition is being held.
The Atmosphere Exposed: Photographs of Halos, Mirages, Iridescent Clouds… and
more, will be on display in the Boyden Gallery from 12 June to 30 September
2010. The exhibition is free and open to the public and includes open
hours before the Friday River Concert series.
A resplendent array of over 140 printed photographs captures
stunning atmospheric conditions. This juried show received entries from
scientists, meteorologists, and amateur photographers from around the
world. The images depict the study of light’s interaction with Earth’s
atmosphere and its landscape. In themselves, the photographs are wondrous
to behold; for those interested in delving into scientific explanations
of these naked-eye observations, an exhibition brochure will be available
