A Beautiful Book of Photographs

This picture book covers diverse themes. Poetry is interspersed between the photographs, and there is a section in the book which gives brief biographies of the women photographers of this book. A section on humans includes the Tibetan man, Yi woman, Kuna woman, a winter solstice celebration, mountain monastery, and a ghost town. Most of the book, however, is centered on nature. There are photos of Monument Valley, Arizona, autumn reflection in a waterfall, minerals such as sandstone, etc. Plants photographed include the fleabane, sunflower, white spruce cones, and the flowering crab apple. Animal photographs include the African elephant, impala, bald eagle, python, elephant seal, and the lion. There's even a photo of a spider web with a captured fly.

The combination of words and pictures depicts nature, people, and everyday life in a way that you have never seen before. For nature lovers or photography buffs, I highly recommend that you purchase this book if you can locate it anywhere.
