5.0 out of 5 stars Pictures so beautiful, they don't look real, February 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ireland: Aerial Photographs (Hardcover)

I purchased this book while on a trip to Ireland. I was looking for a book that captured the beauty of the landscape that I had seen. This book does that ~ and much, much more. The photographs in the book are so beautiful that it's hard to believe that they are real. The colors and images are deep in color and rich with detail.
