Nature photos fill Montalvo gallery

Now through Aug. 16, the Gallery at Villa Montalvo is holding an exhibition titled "Eighteen Days in June" by California photographer Robert Buelteman. The black-and-white photographs were taken during Buelteman's stay at the Djerassi Artist Colony in Woodside.

During his residency, he set out with his camera to record the beauty of California's coastal geography. His landscapes offer more than just scenery, and his film offers extra details because of its sensitivity to normally invisible infrared radiation. As part of the exhibit, a gallery edition of Buelteman's coffee-table book, The Unseen Peninsula, is also on display.

The gallery, located at 15400 Montalvo Road, is open Wednesday through Friday, 1 to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information, call 961-5813.
