An excellent introduction to Scotland's mountains,

This review is from: Scotland: Land of Mountains (Paperback)
I've never been to Scotland but I feel almost as though I have been by seeing these photos. Every one is spectacular in detail and depth; you could probably enlarge them two or three times and still have good resolution.But that is what one expects from Colin Baxter. I first 'discovered' him last year when I bought one of his calendars. Being thoroughly impressed with his work there I decided to get something more expansive... like a book. And this is certainly a good choice, for all ages. Not only does it include the numerous beautiful photos -- most of which are aerial panoramas -- but it also includes text on each region and its features. So there is fine detail not only in the pictures but in everything that accompanies them. It's so inspirational you'll want to buy a plane ticket to see the scenery in person as soon as possible.
