The Moratuwa University Nature team are organizing Nethadara, a
nature photographic exhibition at the Lionel Wendt Art Centre on
September 28 and 29 from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. It is a national level
competition with school level and open level categories.
The winning photographs will be exhibited at the Nethadara
photographic exhibition.
As an organization focused on the conservation and research projects
on nature, the event looks to create an awareness of the unseen corners
of the environment in the urbanized world. The participants are students
of universities, schools and members of environmental societies
scattered around the country. Sri Lanka's natural beauty is highlighted
in the event.

The theme that they work on is the glamour behind the hidden beauty
of the environment. Happiness and beauty are hidden everywhere around us
in the obscure and small things. We miss out on them often till they are
brought to our attention through the third eye.
Let's explore the hidden treasures of nature together with Nethadara
2010 .
Around 66 photos were selected for the exhibition. |
