Introduction by Minnesota author Paul Gruchow.
California on My Mind is a grand tour of the huge, diverse land called California, revealing the many faces and moods of its people, its mountains, its cities, its deserts, its farms and ranches, its beaches, and its wildlife in stunning color images. The images, from some of the country's leading photographers, are beautiful and something more -- they reveal the true essence, the spirit, the magic of the Golden State. This giftbook also features quotations from John Muir, Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, and others.
One of the most awesome natural wonders on earth, the Grand Canyon has for generations challenged artists to capture its myriad moods and unveil its many faces. Here, in stunning color, are the best efforts of some of the nation's most creative contemporary photographers to do just that -- in every light and every season. Here are slender spires and giant buttresses of rock, rising from the abyss to tell their story of the ages. Here is the tempestuous Colorado River, filling the canyon with its timeless song. And here are the hardy people, flora, and fauna that live and play in the depths and on the rims of this celebrated chasm. Augmenting the photos are the eloquent observations of some of the canyon's most ardent admirers. In these pages, you will come to know the canyon in all its grandeur -- and you will never cease to be inspired by the experience.
