Backroads and wild places: An Appalachian Journey

There is a slower America still living in the folds of thesemountainsfound down gravel roads, past leaning barns, where fog settlesinto the hollows like it has nowhere else to be. This collection, from aphotographer with over a dozen published books, turns away from thecities entirely and follows the back roads through Appalachias quietercorners.

A snow-dusted ridge fades into winter haze. A fence line curves along apond beneath blazing autumn color. An alligator drifts low through asun-dappled swamp, black bears doze in autumn oaks, and an elk nosesthrough berries and yellow leaves. Old mills, country churches, andcovered bridges stand as patient witnesses to seasons passing.
