ON SALE! (Normally $85.00) This large new coffee-table book is the culmination of 20 years of work by nature photographer and Colorado native Grant Collier. Colorado is a land of unparalleled beauty. In the western part of the state, there is a remarkable desert landscape filled with immense canyons, fascinating rock formations, and ancient ruins. In the east, an endless expanse of rolling plains is interspersed with buttes, mesas, and colorful badlands. Rising between these two disparate landscapes are the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains, which harbor innumerable lakes, rivers, and waterfalls. Grant Collier has photographed this landscape through all of the changing seasons. He has captured images at sunrise and sunset, when warm light kisses the tops of mountain peaks and the clouds come alive with color. He has stayed up deep into the night to photograph the landscape beneath stars, planets, meteors, and comets. He has also flown high above the land to capture the scenery from a captivating new perspective. The portrait he has produced of Colorado will make you long to lace up your hiking boots and explore the state yourself. This book includes photographs and essays on eight different sections of Colorado. The final chapter contains historic landscape photos taken by Grant's great-great-grandfather, Joseph Collier. Wrapped in a luxurious black cloth cover with gold-foil lettering, this 14" x 11", 256-page book is a must-have for any lover of the great outdoors. We all know Colorado is spectacular, but just how extraordinary it is is evident in Grant Collier’s lush collection of landscape photos in this coffee-table-size book. “Colorado” is filled with stunning shots of our state’s mountains and plains, not a human in sight. Collier’s most spectacular photos show nature in action — lightning over mountain peaks, a lunar eclipse, a rainbow and meteors streaking across the sky. - Sandra Dallas, The Denver Post Grant Collier has been working as a professioinal photographer since 1996.
