A NEW exhibition highlighting the beauty of Swaledale will be held at the Dales Countryside Museum, in Hawes.
Based on a collection of photographs, watercolours and drawings by writer and photographer David Morgan Rees, the exhibition is centred on Marske, near Richmond.
Entitled Small Dale World - A Village in View, the exhibits document the realities of Marske, where Mr Morgan Rees had a cottage for more than 30 years.
"My images in this exhibition are my own way of expressing the depth of my feelings for the local landscape, activities and atmosphere of this very special place," he said.
"I also felt it was very important to make a comprehensive visual record of a rural community at a particular period in the late 20th century."
The exhibition runs from February 27 to March 28 in the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority-owned museum.
Museum manager Fiona Rosher said: "The exhibition is a very personal look at a Dales village from David's point of view and it captures perfectly the essence of the community."
