New Zealand: Mountains to the Sea

New Zealand: Mountains to the Sea stands apart as a rich portrayal of a country with landscapes unlike those of any other. Where else in the world can you find snow-capped mountains that thrust into startling clear blue skies; mountains of fire that are centerpieces of a thermal wonderland; tranquil lakes, surrounded by mountains or fringed with luxuriant bush; rivers that rage through frightening gorges, then flow peacefully between gentle hills; clean pasture, on the river flats and hills, grazed year-round by contented flocks of sheep and herds of cattle; sweeps of superb sandy beach, and bold rocky headlands washed by restless seas; fjords of such majesty that visitors can only fall silent. Other countries have some or even many of these scenic wonders. The superb photographs in this book capture the uniqueness and grandeur, the beauty and drama, of New Zealand's magnificent landscapes, from its lofty mountains to its dramatic coasts.Jacobs, Warren is the author of 'New Zealand: Mountains to the Sea', published 2000 under ISBN 9780908598595 and ISBN 0908598599.
