A photographic exhibition presenting a lyrical version of life on Earth — from the Big Bang to the present — opens this Sunday at the Stauth Memorial Museum in Montezuma.
"Life: A Journey Through Time" is an exhibit by California photographer Frans Lanting, whose original exhibition first opened in the Netherlands in 2006, and then in Italy in 2007, both shows which are still touring Europe.

Brad Nading/Telegram Visitors look over the selection of watercraft at the Finney County Exhibition building during the 2008 KBUF 1030 AM RV, Sport and Travel Festival.
Each of Lanting's images was conceived and produced to provide a window on the past, according to the artist, enabling viewers to imagine what planet Earth looked like in different eras, as new forms of life evolved.
The exhibit will be on display at the Stauth through April 25.
