Remarkably beautiful photographs

I have lived in the Holy City of Jerusalem for thirty years. But Steven Brooke gives in his remarkably beautiful photographs his own special way of seeing it. He does not see and photograph the people of the city but rather its great historical religious sites. And he does this often through panoramic vistas , striking and surprising. I would have preferred that he focus a bit more on the Jewish sites. I would also have loved to see his visions of the new city, the city outside the walls. But he focuses on the religious monuments of the three monotheistic religions, and shows them in a way which create a certain wonder. To really know Jerusalem I would certainly supplement this book with those that contain images of its people and daily life. But this book is a special treasure a real delight to the eyes and the soul.

stunning, unforgettable images of the Holy Land

Like his earlier classic work "Views of Rome", Brooke presents visual poetry of the architecture and monuments of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. The composition and lighting are flawless; the images are stunning and unforgettable. Not just a "coffee table" book, but one to re -visit and appreciate over the years.
