by Laurent Martres

Have you ever wanted to see with your own eyes all the beautiful locations found in coffee table books, posters and travel magazines? Do you want to see the most photogenic spots in our national parks and monuments? Do you want to visit spectacular "off the beaten track" locations outside the parks? Are you are interested in rock art and early Native American dwellings? The Photographing the Southwest guidebook series is the culmination of over twenty years experience exploring and photographing the natural landmarks of the Southwest. A must for everyone with a Passion for the Southwest, Volume 2 takes you on a grand tour of Arizona, starting with an in-depth discovery of the Grand Canyon, from the rim and from the river, exploring the superlative landscapes of Navajoland, including Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly, amazing narrows and slot canyons such as Antelope Canyon, the incredible swirls of Coyote Buttes and its crown jewel: The Wave, the colorful area around Sedona, all the national parks and monuments of the Sonoran desert, and finishing with a foray into the adjacent southern tip of Nevada.

If love to travel or shoot nature photography, or if you've ever traveled to the Southwest, or are planning a trip to the Southwest, this is a great book with tons of beautiful photographs of sites not to be missed, many of which are off the beaten path. A true photographer's work of art. While the book gives guidance on how, when and where to get the best photographs of various sites, it's also a beautiful photographic compilation of the beautiful Southwest. Having just spent a week traveling through Utah and the Southwest with it's immense beauty, it showed just how much there is to see that we missed. I liked the book so much I purchased Volume 1 and plan to purchase the author's CD's of the photographs as well.
