Beschreibung

The dramatic aerial photography of environmentalist Robert Haas makes this oversized album an immersive portrait of Latin America, capturing the majesty of the Amazon, the fickleness of rare wildlife in Patagonia, and the surprising topography of untouched lands across 14 countries. The aerial perspective offers a generous view of the land below and the environmental impact of man, while the size of the double-page images (22 x 14 inches) invites the viewer to appreciate their abstract qualities and become absorbed in the details, from Pacaya Volcano erupting in the Guatemalan morning light to a flock of flamingos wading in a lagoon in a startlingly bird-shaped formation.
