Her photography aims to highlight the dramatic beauty and power of natural land and seascapes. Her work often includes dramatic light conditions that convey the emotional impact of a scene.

Linda Hall will be showing her exhibit Barns of Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia has a rich history of farming and throughout the province there are numerous old farmsteads and old barns. These old buildings have rich character, with interesting lines, textures, and colors. Some are well maintained, and sadly some have been abandoned – either way, it is truly amazing how the carpentry of years ago has stood the test of time.
Linda enjoys exploring all types of photography, but landscapes, nature and rural settings represent much of her work and are closest to her heart. She is passionate about being outdoors and exploring our beautiful province. Whether Linda is in the backcountry hiking or camping or whether she is out exploring backroads and coastal roads by car, she most often explores with a camera in hand, never wanting to miss that perfect moment in time.
Join us at 7pm on Sunday 3rd December as the Kiwanis Club of Liverpool returns to the Astor stage for their 92nd Annual Community Concert!
Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students, available online or through the Astor box office (Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm).
