Announcing
Roan Reflections
A photography exhibit at the Carroll Reece Museum
Johnson City, Tennessee.
Sunday, July 3, through Thursday, July 21
with a closing reception on July 21 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Hosted by Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy
Featuring photographs by Ed Schell, Michael Joslin, Dexter Newman, Mike
Poe, David Ramsey and Witt Langstaff.
Images of The Highlands of Roan will brighten the walls of the Reece museum
for three weeks in July. Roan has been a place of wonder for generations of
Appalachian Trail thru-hikers, local residents, international visitors,
birders and ecologists. Its grassy balds and spruce-fir forests are of
global ecological significance. Its picturesque scenery inspires
photographers to line up for hours for their turn to capture just the right
image of a blooming rhododendron or azalea against the bright blue sky and
expansive grassy meadow.
The exhibit is in conjunction with Appalachian Trail Conference's 35th
Biennial Conference "Remembering Our Past, Preserving Our Future"
Since 1974, Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy has been working to
conserve unique plant and animal habitat, clean water, and scenic beauty of
the mountains of North Carolina and East Tennessee for present and future
generations. To date, SAHC has protected more than 28,800 acres of
treasured sites including 15,000 acres in the Highlands of Roan.
