Product Description

The Finger Lakes region of central New York is a place where light and water meet to create a distinctive look to the land that residents cherish and visitors return to again and again. To capture the wide, open beauty of the long lakes under changing skies and the surrounding hilly vistas, photographer Kristian Reynolds has found the perfect vehicle in a panoramic camera. Within the wide sweep of his lens, he presents images of dramatic gorges, picturesque villages, vivid weather patterns, fertile vineyards, classic boating scenes, and verdant countryside. This is a book for which lifetime lovers and newly initiated fans of the Finger Lakes have long waited, a book which reveals the best of the upstate landscape.

The book's foreword is written by the Hon. Matthew F. McHugh, Counsel to the World Bank and former Upstate New York Member of Congress.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully-done portrayal of the Finger Lakes area., November 18, 1999

By	Lee Newell ([e-mail]) (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews

As a previous resident of the Finger Lakes area, I can personally vouch for the beauty of the area. Mr. Reynolds has captured it as well as any human being can capture the glory of nature's beauty. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a taste for looking at beautiful places, beautifully photographed. Mr. Reynolds has presented an excellent talent with this beautiful book. I look forward to his next effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finger Lakes Panoramas, November 25, 1999

By	Russell F. Knope - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I live in the Finger Lakes area (Elmira) and I have either driven, hiked, or bicycled around all the lakes and sailed across several. This is a wonderful piece of work and all scenes are easily recognized. A great compilation.
