The common saying "You are only as old as you feel" could be said to apply to Rotorua seniors featured in the upcoming Ageing with Attitudephotographic exhibition.
The exhibition is being staged by Rotorua Age Concern and opens on September 5.
Rotorua Age Concern health promoter Mary Ann Nixon said the project aimed to celebrate the significant contribution Rotorua's older citizens of all ethnicities made to the community.
This could be through sport, education, service clubs, business, voluntary work, cultural activities or spiritual life, she said.
"I'm delighted with the photographs, and the subjects have been so generous with sharing their time and stories with us for this project.
