Silence & Solitude by Tom Murphy
Powerful, brutal, beautiful, and at times, enchanting, winter in Yellowstone National Park is a world unlike any other. It is a season both abstract and profound, where super-heated water erupts into arctic air, where wildlife pushes snow in a constant struggle to survive, and where silence and solitude dominate the park's deep wilderness. Photographer Tom Murphy has experienced Yellowstone's winter wilderness as few others have, skiing far into the backcountry with heavy camera gear, an uncanny ability to weather cold and snow, and an artist's eye for the sublime. His photographs reveal a majestic land where the air is clean and clear and where a wolf's throaty howl carries for miles on a still day. Silence & Solitude: Yellowstone's Winter Wilderness shows us the splendor and force of Yellowstone's long cold. In 130 photos we begin to understand the lives of the wildlife that must endure it; we begin to feel the inspiring power of a landscape still wild and pure; and we see nature's beauty in things great and small. These photos are accompanied by Murphy's thoughtful words that take us into the time and place of each image. The captions allow us to smile at a fox's serious hunt for a mouse, to understand why bison stand stoically in geothermal steam, and to marvel at a sudden shift of subtle light that brings breathtaking grandeur to a nondescript little tree and just as suddenly takes it away. As popular author Tim Cahill observes in his foreword, These are photos that mirror a man's passion, and I know of nothing like them anywhere. Murphy's photographs are not simply stunning or striking: they are also knowledgeable and even wise.| SKU | Unavailable |
