Download or read book Scotland s Mountains written by Joe Cornish and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of Scotland's Coast, acclaimed landscape photographer Joe Cornish trained his lens on another outstanding feature of the country for which he holds so much affection - its mountains. He sets out to capture the unique character of each range, from the soaring peaks of the Southern Highlands to the fortress-like Torridonian and Assynt hills in the far north; from the Cuillin of Skye, almost Alpine in character, in the west, to the lofty Cairngorms, with their windswept plateaus and jewel-like ice formations to the east. With a brilliant eye for a picture and a masterly use of light, Joe depicts not only the peaks and ridges, the cliffs and buttresses of each mountain range, but the corresponding valleys and glens, the deep lochs, fast-flowing burns and spectacular waterfalls that are as integral to the landscape as the mountains themselves. Accompanying the photographs are Joe's fascinating accounts of his experiences in each region. He describes the physical and creative challenges he faced in order to capture the images, and his reflections on the remarkable landscapes and features he encountered. The result is one of the most acutely observed, engaging and inspirational portraits of Scotland's mountains ever published. It will delight not only Joe Cornish's numerous admirers but anyone who is drawn to this most magical of landscapes.
Download or read book East Branch Lincoln Railroad written by Erin Paul Donovan and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built by James Everell Henry, the East Branch & Lincoln Railroad (EB&L) is considered to be the grandest and largest logging railroad operation ever built in New England. In 1892, the mountain town of Lincoln, New Hampshire, was transformed from a struggling wilderness enclave to a thriving mill town when Henry moved his logging operation from Zealand. He built houses, a company store, sawmills, and a railroad into the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River watershed to harvest virgin spruce. Despite the departure of the last EB&L log train from Lincoln Woods by 1948, the industry's cut-and-run practices forever changed the future of land conservation in the region, prompting legislation like the Weeks Act of 1911 and the Wilderness Act of 1964. Today, nearly every trail in the Pemigewasset Wilderness follows or utilizes portions of the old EB&L Railroad bed.

Download or read book The Face of Appalachia written by Tim Barnwell and published by . This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Face of Appalachia: Portraits from the Mountain Farm is the culmination of over twenty years of work by acclaimed photographer Tim Barnwell. Combining beautiful landscapes with tender portraits, his remarkable black-and-white images provide a stunning record of a vanishing way of life on the remote mountain farms of rural Appalachia. Over one hundred photographs, printed here in elegant duotone reproductions, are combined with conversations with the subjects, to give us an insight into the daily lives, activities, and dreams of the hard working, proud, and resourceful men and women of this unique area of our country. Transcending their geographical origins, these photographs give us a look at how our forefathers lived, for generations, with seemingly little change, in the decades before modern industry, roads, and technology transformed the country from an agrarian to an industrial economy and then to the information age we live in today. The rugged and remote mountains of the southern Appalachian region have served to isolate and preserve the last vestiges of life as it once was throughout rural America. By documenting this disappearing way of life, Mr. Barnwell has captured the essence, beauty, and rugged character of the rural landscape and its people, for this and future generations.

Book excerpt: Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch Format: 22,3 x 28,7 cm , 208 Seiten Eine atemberaubende fotografische Ode an die Alpen. Nie gesehen Perspektiven und Ausblicke Mit spannenden Infos zu den abgebildeten Regionen und Bergen. Die Berge, eines der größten Meisterwerke der Natur, haben uns Menschen mit wilder Schönheit, atemberaubenden Gipfelpanoramen, klarer Luft, grünen Almen, eisigen Bergseen und mächtigen Gletschern von jeher in ihren Bann gezogen. Einen Berg zu besteigen oder seine majestätische Pracht zu bestaunen, lässt uns innehalten, nachdenken und vielleicht sogar ein wenig gelassener werden. Der Fotograf Tim Hall fängt den kraftvollen Trost, der aus den Bergen spricht, auf wunderbare Weise ein. Die oft spektakulären Wetterbedingungen, unter denen er fotografiert, lassen seine Arbeit und die Berge vor der Kamera noch gewaltiger und überweltlicher erscheinen. In vielen seiner Landschaftsaufnahmen inspiriert von Mark Rothko und William Turner ist die Absicht, eine emotionale oder geistige Saite anzuschlagen, unübersehbar. "Mountains. Beyond the Clouds" präsentiert den gesamten Alpenkamm, darunter so berühmte Wahrzeichen wie den Mont Blanc, das Matterhorn und die Dolomiten.
