Product Description

Review

"* 'Colin Prior has brought to the conventional coffee-table book of illustrations of Scotland's scenery a style... revolutionary and thrilling.' Magnus Magnusson on Highland Wilderness

Product Description

This latest collection of panoramic photographs by award-winning photographer Colin Prior celebrates the breathtaking scenery of Scotland's wildland areas. It follows the longstanding success of his earlier book Highland Wilderness. Whereas Highland Wilderness focused on the issues involved in conserving the Highlands, this time Prior presents a mature reflection on the space and silence of those wild places, a salutory reminder to people that even in today's world such places do exist. His remarkable images encourage stewardship of the Highlands by inspiration rather than rhetoric.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, simply stunning., 23 Feb 2003
By 
This review is from: Scotland: The Wild Places (Hardcover)
I love this book. There is no other way to describe my feelings for it, it draws you in with its stunning vista`s. I wish i could spend more time in the Highlands of Scotland just standing, waiting for the perfect shot to unfold, but living in the Midlands makes that a bit difficult.
This book more than makes up for it, the quality and composition of the photographs are second to none, you can feel the breeze on your face, smell the clean cutting Highland air, it totally imerses you. You can see why the Highlands captivate many a poet and artist, with the rich colours and the softness of the light there is nowhere like it on earth. Colin has captured this perfectly with this book, larger copies of some these photographs now adorn my walls and everyone who comes round comments on them. They stir emotions.
As i said earlier, stunning, simply stunning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary, 15 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Scotland: The Wild Places (Hardcover)
The first time I saw one of Colin Prior's books - Highland Wilderness - in a hotel in Callander, I was hooked. It is a wonderful collection of photographs of Scotland - a place where I long to live - and never fails to lift my spirits when I'm stuck in Manchester feeling a bit low. I am not a photographer but I can really appreciate this wonderful book and the breathtaking photos. Everyone who loves Scotland will love this book, especially if you don't have the privilege of living there.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Imagery of Scotland, 12 Nov 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Scotland: The Wild Places (Hardcover)
This book is just sheer pleasure ,with page after page of colour photographs showing the diverse scenery across Scotland and the Islands.
It is low in factual narrative but not to its detriment as this book focuses on the visual,and has captured many of those moments you witness but never seem to be able to capture adequately on film.
