Jon McCormack: Patterns: Art of the Natural World

A visual testament to the interconnectedness of life: stunning photography of naturally occurring patterns across the globe--from tree rings to elephant migration trails to feathers of ancient birds

In this photobook, Australian conservation and nature photographer Jon McCormack explores the natural design woven into the fabric of our planet, capturing unexpected structures and delicate rhythms echoed across animal markings, grand landscapes, geological formations and botanical design in breathtaking detail. The images in the volume depict a wide spectrum of terrains: from the volcanic coasts of Iceland to the wilds of Kenya, the icy fjords of Antarctica to the rainforests of British Columbia. They capture the silent geometry of hippo trails in Botswana, the intricate symmetry of ice caves in Svalbard and the mysterious worlds found in cold underwater environments. Many of the photographs were shot close to McCormack's home, along the coastlines, forests and deserts of California. Interwoven with the awe-inspiring photographs are short essays by explorers and scientists that respond to the extraordinary phenomena on display.
