AN award-winning photographer's images of the Yorkshire Dales go on display at the weekend.

Hemant Jariwala has chosen the Dales Countryside Museum, in Hawes, Wensleydale, for the launch of his exhibition, called Portraits of the Dales.

Mr Jariwala, from Bedfordshire, runs landscape photography workshops throughout the Dales and the Lake District, and has had his work featured in national and international exhibitions.

He has won a number of national photography competitions and is a Royal Photographic Society gold medal winner.

Acting museum manager Debbie Allen said: "We were so impressed by his photographs of the Lake District that we were delighted when Hemant suggested he do a series in the Yorkshire Dales.

"We are very much looking forward to this exhibition."

The 20 photographs will be on show seven days a week, from 10am to 5pm, until November 7, as part of a series of temporary exhibitions.
