Description
The Sierra Nevada Mountains 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 backcountry 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.
Advance Praise
"Fred Weyman's photographs of the Sierra Nevada reflect the same kind of passion for their subject as Ansel Adams and Galen Rowel." —Michael Brune, Executive Director, Sierra Club
"Fred’s photography has beautifully and magnificently captured what makes visiting the Sierra such a unique experience for each one of us. Through dramatic lighting and thoughtful composition Fred’s images display special moments in time as he saw them. These pictures will not only inspire but invite his readers to venture into the high country to experience the Sierra’s majesty and create their own memories in this special mountain range we know and love."--Kurt Wedberg, Founder and President, Sierra Mountaineering International
"Mr. Weyman's work highlights the beauty of the Range of Light and the importance of preserving it for generations to come! The Sierra Nevada Alliance appreciates such efforts to bring attention to our precious resources, especially in the current political climate which threatens it. " -Jenny Hatch, Executive Director, Sierra Nevada Alliance
"Having explored Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks over a 40-year period, I am delighted to see some of these spectacular places highlighted in this book. Mr. Weyman has captured the serene beauty of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains." -Mark Tilchen, Executive Director, Sequoia Parks Conservancy
