1870-2000 II
by John Fielder, William Henry Jackson. Hardcover.
Carrying
on in the tradition of the first coffee-table book in this series,
Fielder gives us a modern-day look at William Henry Jackson's
historic photo locations. You'll love comparing Jackson's originals
to Fielder's photos to see what changes have taken place. There
are numerous scenes from cities and towns, as well as a few pristine
wilderness photos that give one hope that Colorado will remain
a place where we can continue to find solitude and beauty.

| Colorado,
1870-2000
by William Henry Jackson, John Fielder (Photographer). Hardcover.
A coffee
table book with historic photos taken by W.H. Jackson and later,
John Fielder. Fielder returned to the exact same vantage points
whenever he could, to stand in the footsteps of Jackson. He also
replicated similar seasons, lighting conditions, and other details
as closely as possible. They are presented together to show the
changes that have taken place. These are truly stunning works
by two masters of their art. This book and all of those in the
Colorado Littlebooks series have an honored place on our coffee
table.

also home to reds, oranges and all the tones in between. John Fielder

Mountain National Park : A 100 Year Perspective

calls Enos Mills his mentor. Here are photos from both of them,
separated by a hundred years. The photos are stunning eye candy,

as he and his "sherpa" friends reached remote places
in the park, accessible only by difficult hiking.

| Along
Colorado's Continental Divide Trail
by John Fielder(Photographer), et al. Hardcover.
This
coffee-table book is an exquisite collection of photos from a
740-mile trek along the Continental Divide Trail. As Fielder says,
"I practically wore my Thesaurus out looking for adjectival
alternatives–but there are limited synonyms of 'beautiful,'
'splendid' and 'awe-inspiring.' (And this in a state that can
use up all the scene-based superlatives the language can muster.)"
So all I can say
about this volume is that it's superlative! |

the division of the two watersheds of North America. 759 miles
of the trail are contained in Colorado. This book splits the trail
into 43 segments, with descriptions of each hike, maps, access,
and side-hikes that branch off of the main trail. Fielder's photos

Colorado Winter

qualities are unsurpassed.

the photos.

Reflections (Colorado Littlebooks)

Nothing
says "John Fielder" more than his trademark photos of
reflections. He has gone to the utmost of effort to get to the
35 beautiful places in this book. He says, "The sight of
a gorgeous peak at sunrise reflected in still waters is just too
much beauty to resist. I guess I just like to get two for the
price of one!"
