Description

Join physician and landscape photographer Mohan Bhasker on a round-the-world journey to some of Earth’s most exquisite sites. Vicariously traverse a Laos jungle, kayak among Antarctica’s icebergs, trek through Nepal’s Himalayan mountain range and Brazil’s scorching sand dunes, and come upon impossibly blue lagoons tucked into the rugged Argentine terrain. Interspersed with the images are adventure travel stories about close calls with nature, opportunities missed, serendipitous timing, and the payoff of persistence. The camera lens lingers on everything from pristine panoramas to quiet coves and closeups of penguin chicks. In a fifteen-year collection of more than 220 photographs, the author pays tribute to the beauty, history, and significance of some of the most remote places on Earth.

Mohan Bhasker is an amazing photographer.

And Seven Continents captures his ability wonderfully.

From the colors of the seasons changing in Vermont to the glaciers of Antarctica to the cherry blossoms of Japan to the tigers of India.

This isn't the kind of book to inhale in a single sitting. The photos should be pored over slowly to get the full effect of the beauty from all over the world.

And to hear the work that went into getting some of these pictures! Whether it's just waiting for hours for the sun to come out behind the clouds or trekking miles to get to a secluded spot at just the right time of day, Bhaskar has definitely put his time in to get these pictures.

In the sand dunes in Brazil, "we slept on narrow hammocks that took some time getting used to, and on several occasions I slipped off in my sleep. We could not sleep on the floor for fear of being bitten by giant red ants, spiders, or scorpions."

"I kept reminding myself that life is all about taking risks."

It makes me want to travel the world and see it all firsthand.

I could spend pages discussing what was beautiful in each part of the world. But it'd be better if you looked for yourself.
