In keeping with San Antonio's FotoSiembre, colorful photographs by W. Scott Vallance will be on display at San Antonio College through Oct. 8. The exhibit is free and open to the public and is located in the second-floor hallway of the Loftin Student Center in the Journalism-Photography Department.

Vallance is a commercial photographer and a new adjunct lecturer in Commercial Photography at the college. The display includes his photographs of the cliff dwellings in Arizona, the White Castle Ruins in Canyon de Chelly, Montezuma Castle and the Tuzigoot Ruins near Sedona.

"Other images include hordes of Mexican free-tail bats at Bracken Cave, home to the world's largest bat colony," said Chet Hunt, chairperson of the Journalism-Photography Department.

He added, "Their emergence from the cave each night is one of the most spectacular sights in nature as the bats spread across thousands of square miles to consume more than 200 million tons of night-flying insects."
