Yosemite in Pictures by Ryan Alonzo
Take only photographs, leave only footprints. But if one's own photographs don't quite do justice to the towering granites, thundering waterfalls, and spectacular vistas of Yosemite, then this lovely little volume of photographs makes a superb complement. Highlights include Yosemite Valley, the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias and Wawona, Tuolumne Meadows, Glacier Point, and the high country. Ryan Alonzo's spectacular shots are accompanied by the key information visitors want to remember and share.
From National Parks Traveler: "I really appreciate this small homage to such an amazing placeTrying to show Yosemite is always a challenge, but Alonzo successfully reveals the diversity of canyon, cliff, and peak. Working for a decade in the park has taken Alonzo into areas not normally documented, and many of his locations are new, unusual, or just seen with a different eye and a different aspect. There are intimate details of natural processes, like the spring redbuds over a raging torrent and a carpet of golden-coined aspen leaves after a rain. His detail of bluish water pouring over amber granite is gorgeous...Alonzo's captions are long enough to describe what's happening, but short enough to give a lot of white space around his photos. There's also a wonderful twilight two-page panoramic of the Cathedral Range, with the peaks named: there's a lot of country outside of the Valley. The size works well too: this is not a coffee table book, but an intimate 8"X7" hardcover with a soft varnish that feels great to the fingers." --Patrick Cone
