My Review

Wow if you want to get lost in a book this is the one to do it in. The photograph in this stunning and breath taking. The pictures are so detailed and well framed that they will captivate you and give you a sense that you are there looking at them with your own eyes. You experience the power that they give off. For those of you like me who can't afford to travel to this places you can experience them from the comfort of your own home. Sitting next to a cosy fire on a frosty night reading this book it just can't be beaten. The layout is wonderful and breath taking. The information within each collection is fantastic letting you experience and learn things about these unforgettable and sometimes very hard to reach corners of the world. I often lost track of time while engrossed in the magical wonder of this book. This is a perfect book for anyones collection suitable for the whole familys taste. It is also great for those budding amateur photographers which handy hits on how to shoot these pictures yourself. So perfect for photographers across the globe. I love that this book was grouped into sections like forests, rivers, ice etc. Also there are many different photographers participating in this book so plenty of varied styles to enjoy and learn from. I truly thank the author, photographers and publishers for creating this stunning and varied collection of wonderful places to get lost in that can be enjoyed by all. I can't wait to see and read more books by this author and photographers.
