The Garage Gallery is a strictly photography gallery run by Janis Ekman. The collection includes photographs of the water, plants and sky of Cape Cod. According to the website, her photos are inspired by "...the natural light unique to this Cape Cod, Massachusetts landscape." Whether or not it is unique is a matter of debate, but it is certainly striking. The glints of light and flashes of bright color captured in Ekman's photographs are stunning.
