Cowboys, Rockies, and spacious skies . . .

This handsome collection of 115+ color photographs captures the romance and drama of cowboy life as it's lived on the ranchland of Colorado, where the Rockies provide a grand backdrop under deep blue skies. There are images here of men and women at work outdoors in all seasons. Many are the kind of richly visual images that adorn calendars and that used to find their way into Marlboro ads. There are silhouettes against spectacular sunsets, men around campfires or fording streams on horseback, close-ups of saddles, boots, and tack, horses running in snow. Others are unexpected surprises, like a rancher with a horse-drawn hay rake, or the end of a wide rainbow falling between two dilapidated ranch buildings. There's a brief introduction by cowboy actor Harry Carey, Jr., and cowboy poet and humorist Baxter Black also makes an appearance, with a photo and a poem, "Cowboy Heaven." The book is well designed, with two-page spreads balancing pages with clusters of smaller photographs. A few pages include anecdotes as told by cowboys. Great coffee table book.
