High Sierra

The Sierra Nevada Mountains, which many consider the most beautiful range in the world, don't easily reveal their treasures, but this photographic compilation, the result of over 30 backpacking trips in the remote high country, reveals the spirit and beauty of a national gem through brilliant images.

Focusing on carefully selected landscapes captured from virtually impossible vantage points, the photographs reflect a genuine Sierra back-country experience. Witness the disappearing edges between water and rocks at Lake Aloha, the scant vegetation peeking out between slabs of smooth granite in Cherry Creek Canyon, and read about the natural processes that led to the creation of waterfalls, glaciers, and lakes.

The painstakingly crafted compositions demonstrate how light can determine the way one sees and remembers a landscape. Musings about the Sierra Nevada by naturalists, mountaineers, and writers, including John Muir, Norman Clyde, Jane Wilson Howarth, and Jack Kerouac, complement the arresting photography.

Muntii Sierra Nevada, pe care multi il considera cea mai frumoasa gama din lume, nu isi dezvaluie cu usurinta comorile, dar aceasta compilatie fotografica, rezultatul a peste 30 de excursii in rucsac in tara indepartata, dezvaluie spiritul si frumusetea unui national bijuterie prin imagini stralucitoare. Concentrandu-se pe peisaje atent selectionate, capturate din puncte de vedere practic imposibile, fotografiile reflecta o experienta autentica in tara din Sierra.
