Mountain Magic [Hardcover]

Van Greaves (Photographer)

Book Description

Mountain Magic features over 150 photographs of iconic British peaks, including Snowdon, Scafell, Ben Nevis, the Torridons, Haystacks, and the Cullins of Skye. Dramatic captions recount the hardships photographer Van Greaves endured, and the patience required of him, in taking these photos, often under extraordinary light and weather conditions: summer sunsets over Snowdonia, dawn over High Stile Ridge, Ben Nevis in a winter squall. These splendid images represent Greaves' personal favorites from his 40 years of work.
