Wes Walker
#UB6302
Hardcover, 159 pages; 2007
$20.95
Granted, it may be hard to take a bad photo of the romantic landscapes and stunning architecture of Tuscany…but the images photographer Wes Walker presents in Tuscan Country seem almost magical. Whether it's a dramatically lit hilltop town rising over an olive grove, a field of poppies under a perfect blue sky, or geometric marble-inlay details from the interior of a church—these colorful photos are profoundly intoxicating. Each image is accompanied by a bit of charming text from Walker, explaining exactly what he's showing you. Literary snippets from the likes of Henry James, Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning add an extra element of beauty to Tuscan Country. Plus, the index of lovely places to spend the night, drink some wine, or eat a meal make this exquisite book practical, as well!
