Photographs by Don Riepe are on display at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center in a show titled "A Look at Jamaica Bay."

This naturalist and amateur photographer says he finds beauty in both large and small aspects of the bay, in addition to giving the bay a serious glance and a gaze that captures a bit of humor. In some photographs, the urban is juxtaposed against the scenery of Jamaica Bay. Overall, the photographs catch the nature of Jamaica Bay.

The exhibit is free and open from September through November 2009.

Call the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge at 718-318-4340 for more information.
