Photographer and Lancaster resident Fletcher Manley has gathered an exquisite collection of images for this book. They are black and white photographs he made between 1967 and 2010 and they capture the magical qualities of snow in scenes from around the world. Many of the images include skiers, Powder-8's is a particularly striking skiing image, but city-scapes and country woods are also included.
"Growing up among hills and mountains helped shape my appreciation of the vertical landscape. Winter held a particular fascination with its low, glancing light, long shadows, and crisp accentuated textures, where snow sculpted and redefined familiar forms. So, it was not so much as a mountaineer, but more a rambler among the peaks and valleys, that I came to frame light and shadows, shapes and forms inherent in the mountain landscape." --Fletcher Manley
