    Description
    Cinematic in scale, Harvey Lloyd's aerial photographs beautifully capture the magnificent sacred lands of the Southwest - the desert, the uplands, and the plateau areas of the Southwest region of the United States. This phenomenal landscape, a natural and miraculous recording of millennia, remains unique in the world in its ever-changing yet eternal vistas. Principal photography takes place above the spectacular region of the Colorado Plateau, the roughly 50,000-square-mile area surrounding the Four Corners intersection of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. Also featured are the dramatic land formations at national parks, including the Grand Canyon, Canyonlands, and Arches; traces of ancient Native American ruins at Mesa Verde and Canyon de Chelly; remarkable present-day native american pueblos; and natural phenomena, like sunsets and snowstorms, that take on a wondrous power from the surrounding lands. This large-format book beautifully showcases the magnificent lands of the Southwest--designated by the desert, the uplands and the plateau areas of the southwest region of the U.S. This phenomenal landscape, a natural and miraculous recording of millennia, remains unique in the world of its ever-changing yet eternal vistas. Color photos.
