Anyone who has visited Israel can tell you of the beauty, the customs and the history. For the month of August Jacaranda Library will host “Vision,” a photographic exhibit by Israeli photographer Ilan Hirschowitz.

“Vision” is the third public exhibit for Mr. Hirschowitz and his first in the United States. “As a youth, Mr. Hirschowitz developed an appreciation for nature investigating the South African countryside on horseback,” said library manager Greg Carlson. “His love of nature photography was rekindled in Tel Mond after discovering majestic landscapes on his doorstep.”

Images in the “Vision” collection include a selection of landscapes and pastoral scenes from Israel’s Sharon Valley. Tel Mond, Israel, Mr. Hirschowitz’s hometown, has been an official Sarasota sister city since 1994.

The public is invited to a free opening reception 3 to 5 p.m., Friday, August 8.
