5.0 out of 5 stars Colorado Close-Up, April 23, 2000

This review is from: Colorado Close-Up (Paperback)

Somewhat like a National Geographic that you thumb through to see the great pictures, but then you read the text and become engrossed in the spectacular detail included within. The pictures range from landscape format to close-up, as does the text. Though the pictures beg for a 20x24 format, the reader will enjoy both the text and the pictures and appreciate the photographer and the author, coming to know the landscape better than you ever thought possible, no matter how may trips you've taken to the state of Colorado and how many places you've visited there. This book will make you want to go back and see what you missed. J.C. Leacock is a marvelous photographer and Conger Beasley complements his work with a wonderful close-up description of the details of the Colorado landscape.

J.C. Leacock has done a beautiful job capturing the diversity and seasons of Colorado in this book. The text provides clear and interesting information to further appreicate the photos. We recently were married in the mountians of Colorado and gave copies of this book to our friends and family who assisted with the cermony, as well as copy for ourselves. We enjoy it, and those we gave it to have nothing but good things to say about it. The price and size are just right for gift giving to those who have been to, or live in Colorado, or those who have yet to visit but appreciate the natural beauty and diversity of the State.
