Pagosa Springs Photography Club will hear about ‘Journey to Africa’

Posted

The next meeting of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club will be held on April 9 at the Community United Methodist Church, 434 Lewis St. 

Arrive any time after 6 p.m. for socializing; the program will begin at 6:30 p.m. Please use the side door near the parking lot to enter. 

Our program this month will feature local photographer and club member Doug Coombs, who will take us on a “Journey to Africa.” 

In his presentation, Coombs will be discussing photographs taken in Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa and Botswana on four different safari trips. 

His photos will include the big five: elephants, lions, leopards, hippos and Cape buffalo. He will also share images of smaller mammals and birds, as well as of the Maasai people, and some classic African sunrises and sunsets.

Coombs will also bring some books and literature provided by one of the safari companies, used for two of his adventures, to hand out to the audience. These are great resources if you want to plan your own journey to Africa. 

This will be a hybrid meeting, also available on Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to members; others who wish to attend remotely may request the link by email to abutler@mac.com.
