This book is a must have for anyone who loves mountains. Christoph Stopka presents a stunning collection of Black and White photographs, showcasing the author's passion for the High Country. From the wild and unspoiled Canadian Rockies to Wyoming's impressive, craggy Grand Tetons, from a full moon seemingly dancing on the peak of a Fourteener to star trails over snowcapped mountain tops to spectacular waterfalls and forests in foothills, ablaze with white hoar frost. Especially when it comes to the diverse, lofty terrain of Colorado, this book captures the fascination of high elevation splendor and the awe-inspiring beauty of dramatic alpine scenery in this extraordinary compilation of images. Many of Christoph Stopka's artful photos are spectacular panoramas and in order to enjoy these wide images at their full potential, the book is printed on Layflat pages. And the Monochrome finish in Black and White - full of contrast and often incredible detail - only enhances the overall experience. A work of art.
