Fancy seeing over seventy beautiful, unique and fun photographs of Somerset, in a lovely gallery setting, captured by a mixture of talented people who take photos professionally, for the love of it, or both? :)
You do?
Well we were kinda hoping you'd say that, because we've created 'Picture Somerset' - a way of celebrating your amazing photos and stories of Somerset.
We've been sharing your photos on the blog for a year and a half now, but this month we've joined forces with artist and our friend Donna Vale at For Every Cloud to put together a photography exhibition that brings your photos off the phone/laptop and into the gallery!
If you'd like to visit the exhibition, the gallery address and the opening times for Picture Somerset are below.
We'll also be posting updates on a brand new Instagram feed @picturesomerset - do follow us as we'll be kicking that off with photos from the launch and from the photographers we're featuring in the exhibition. There'll also be highlights on our @somersetcool Instagram & Twitter, of course :).
EXHIBITION ADDRESS
For Every Cloud
Bow Street
Langport
TA10 9PR
(Look out for the blue For Every Cloud shop front, opposite the car park, on the other side of the street).
EXHIBITION OPENING TIMES 11th May - June 9th
Friday 11th May 7-9pm
(Picture Somerset Launch with a taste of authentic Cheddar and a taste of cider... till both run out! ;))
Saturday 12th May 10am-2pm
Mondays and Tuesdays Closed
Wednesdays and Thursdays 10am-4pm
Fridays 9am-1pm
Saturdays 10am-2pm
Sundays Closed
When you go through the door at For Every Cloud, there's a shop downstairs and the gallery space is upstairs. Most of the photography is for sale, so it's also a great opportunity to support local talent if you do fall in love with a photo you see.
All that's left to say for now is that we really hope you enjoy the stunning selection of photos on show that create a diverse and cool picture of Somerset... the county we all love to bits! :)
