Colorado

Description:

Colorado is a land of unparalleled beauty. In the western part of the state, there is a remarkable desert landscape filled with immense canyons, fascinating rock formations, and ancient ruins. In the east, an endless expanse of rolling plains is interspersed with buttes, mesas, and colorful badlands. Rising between these two disparate landscapes are the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains, which harbor innumerable lakes, rivers, and waterfalls.

Photographer Grant Collier has spent twenty years photographing this landscape through all of the changing seasons. He has captured images at sunrise and sunset, when warm light kisses the tops of mountain peaks and the clouds come alive with color. He has stayed up deep into the night to photograph the landscape beneath stars, planets, meteors, and comets. He also has flown high above the land to capture the scenery from a captivating new perspective. The portrait he has produced of Colorado will make you long to lace up your hiking boots and explore the state yourself.

This expansive book measures 14" wide x11" tall and contains 256 pages. It includes essays and photographs on eight different sections of Colorado. The final chapter contains historic landscape photos taken by Grant's great-great-grandfather, Joseph Collier. No expense was spared on the cover, which has gold-foil lettering printed on real black cloth that is wrapped around the spine.
