251228: have grown up, lived mostly in this part of the world, it has been, still is, as beautiful as pictures show. this reminds me of this beauty. this is beauty of different sort from Hawaii, my mom's hometown Waimea on island of Kauai. I have lived on Oahu, I have yearly visited Waimea. I have been fortunate. this also makes me sad because it reminds me of all the ways, since my injury, that I can no longe enjoy what we call 'the mountains'. I can no longer hike, bike, climb, cave, canoe, camp (alone, primitive) but I still have these memories...

I bought this book as a gift. I liked that it was mostly photographs with captions. I mostly wanted a coffee table book and it fit that bill. Some of the pictures felt a little dark. Also I liked the unique perspectives but would have liked some more of the iconic photos that we’ve seen before.

I like that it broke up each section geographically, would've liked for it to be a bit more detailed but overall it was okay.
