Vermont Wilds

Fülszöveg

The camera can freeze the instant, capturing
light and shadow, but not time. Time is
unrelenting. The shadows deepen and the
scene disappears. An image, brilliantly
captured today through the eye of A. Blake
Gardner, may exist nowhere but on this color
plate tomorrow. The camera sharpens our
attention to detail, and to the fragile nature
of Vermont's beauty.
I feel a kinship with Blake and Pauline
Gardner: they have photographed Vermont
through the eyes of my youth. This volume is
an album of memories for me.

BEYOND THE FAMILIAR LANDSCAPES OF
VERMONT — its hayfields and Holsteins, its

there exist wild lands, pockets of nature that
have remained largely unchanged since the
state was settled more than 200 years ago.
Photographer A. Blake Gardner and writer
Pauline Gardner spent more than two years
trekking through Vermont's remaining
wilderness areas, discovering their profound
beauty, their isolation, their fragility, and their
resilience. In Vermont Wilds, the authors
explore these "private corners' of the state,
places unseen by most people and unknown
even to some natives.
(continued from front flap)
From Victory Bog to Camel's Hump, Lye
Brook to Kettle Pond, Vermont Wilds presents
stunning color photographs of Vermont's most
valuable resource — its wilderness lands. More
than a collection of beautiful images from
nature, the book's thoughtful captions and
introduction focus on the vital issue of land
preservation and help put the photographs in
context, citing the history, character, and
grandeur of Vermont's protected areas.
Vermont Wilds offers a refreshingly different
perspective on this beautiful state, displaying
its most unique and representative face
through its special places and untouched
lands. For those who love nature, and those
who love Vermont, Vermont Wilds is a book to
give, to own, and to cherish. Vissza
