Art of Winter Author:Julie M Covert Celebrating the beauty that winter creates with ice and snow, "Art of Winter" by Julie M Covert is a pictorial essay of winter's fierce and fragile beauty on Lake Huron. It is a feast for the eyes for anyone who loves the Great Lakes, winter and the beauty of nature. Surprising plays of light and sculptures of ice are the reward for braving bone... more »-chilling temperatures. It captures ice and water doing battle; the stunning pink of sunrise as seen through the prisms of countless ice shards; and the wildlife of Lake Huron as they hunt and play. These images captivate the senses and may even create a longing for those frosty mornings, when snow crunches underfoot and one's breath can be seen. Beautifully presented, this unique volume will delight anyone who loves winter.
Take a winter walk with Julie Covert, often in single digit temperatures just as the sun rises. Discover the many incredible treasures that winter creates:
? Rainbows caught in icicles
? Mini-ice caves with crystal-clear pillars
? Ice versions of jellyfish and sea urchins
? Hoarfrost sailboats
? Icicles that form in the water and look like leaves
And no two days are the same. Some days the sun spreads a spectacular palette of color in the sky. Other days, strong winds blow, washing icebergs up on shore.
"Delicate, sensitive, provocative in simplicity of seeing. Impressive images of a winter's landscape."
- David Muench master landscape photographer. author of "Our National Parks" and "Ancient America"
A stunning work in form, light, and texture. A wonderful collection of images that conveys the beauty and the pristine solitude of winter. Julie's sensitivity to natural light shows in each of her images, taking advantage of the two most beautiful lighting conditions in nature - sunrise/sunset and soft, diffused light.
