Seattle is a city of which it was once said, "lies well in the arms of the land." This book has captured Seattle and the places around it - the raw, threatening beauty of the Cascade Range and that of... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is one of Robert Carmeron's last books and it is one of his best. Seattle really lends itself well to this kind of photography, the city is so naturally blessed. The photography in this book is classic Cameron and the photos are so vivid. I recommend this book to anyone with an interst in this beautiful city or just an interest in great photography in general, you won't be disappointed.

Stunning quality; if you've been there, you will easily be able to pick out your favorite spots, despite the distance. The captions are a little dry, but the pictures make this aesthetic book one of value.
The pictures are very beautiful !

Everybody who has any relation to Seattle should have this book! To people who live there it shows their city from a different point of view. To people who like to get a detailed impression of the city and its close environment I really recommend it ! But this book (in my eyes) is not made for people who look for a "tourist guide".
Above Seattle is just a dream...

If you want something special you must buy this book. It's the most wonderful photo-story about Seattle if have every seen. And there's a lot more, the author shows with his pictures the differences between the past and today. All I have to say is : I love this book and I'm you wil too.
