Around the World

Wednesday | March 23, 2022 | 7:00 - 8:30pm

​

Joe Farrell, Vice President of the West Shore Photography Club will take you on a sampling tour around the world to experience how we are so different but yet are the same!  We will explore how we cook, clean, work, pray, play and live everyday life and do this in many differing cultures.  From the mountains of the Andes to the Himalayas,  to the plains of Mongolia to the Serengeti, from the streets of Sri Lanka to the water streets of Myanmar, from the old towns of Cuba to the modern Dubai, from the repressive regimes of Tibet to the people of Siberia, from the cold of Greenland to the heat of Namibia and more.  All of this and more will be explored through the lens of Joe’s travels in far off places.  Questions will be entertained along our vast journey
