Under Alien Skies ~ Exhibition Of Photographs By Nik Palmer Capturing The Other Worldliness Of Cley Hill

Monday 26th January 2015

Pictured above is one of the stunning images in “Under Alien Skies” ~ an exhibition of photographs of Cley Hill, near Warminster, by Nik Palmer, which will be on display throughout February 2015 at the Cheese And Grain, Market Yard, Frome, BA11 1BE.

Nik, who lives in Frome, has been photographing the Cley Hill landscape for the last five years, capturing its moods from the misty mornings to the golden sunsets, and while there are no aliens in any of his photos, his aim has been to portray the other worldliness of this magical place.

On Thursday 5th February, from 6.30 p.m. to 8.00 p.m., the Cheese And Grain is hosting a “meet the artist” session ~ an opportunity to chat with Nik Palmer about his photographs while enjoying a glass of wine.
