Majestic Splendor: A Portrait of the Rockies

By Shiro Shirahata

A moving glimpse of the Canadian Rockies, one of the most magnificent mountain ranges in the world, Majestic Splendor is a masterpiece of photography and a celebration of sublime nature. Shiro Shirahata is to the Rockies what Ansel Adams was to Yosemite, a master photographer and a devoted lover of the landscape. For this book, he painstakingly selected each exhibit-quality photograph from thirty-five thousand of his original exposures. Stretching from the Yukon all the way to Montana, the Canadian Rockies are a true wilderness -- a place where nature exists in powerful isolation touched only by the sun, snow, rain, and wind. Guided by Shirahata, Majestic Splendor takes us there.
