Product Description
The great American photographer Ansel Adams is justly famous for his heroic mountain landscapes. He is also a consummate photographer of trees and forest woodland, creating stirring portraits of giant oaks in Yosemite Valley and capturing the shimmering beauty of an aspen grove in New Mexico. This book will present some fifty of Adams' finest photographs of trees - a wide range of imagery from towering redwood groves to flowering orchards; majestic pine forest to leafy deciduous woods; wood and bark details to gnarled tree stumps; close-ups of snow-laden branches to leaf patterns against the sky; and, of course, many a portrait of the mighty trees of the Sierra and the American West. Accompanying the images will be text and poetry excerpts from a variety of writers and observers, both contemporary and historic. Drawn from natural history essays, poems, journals, photographers' and critics' observations, this anthology approach will complement and expand upon the reverence and passion for the beauty of trees so apparent in Adams' photographs.

Great Book November 16, 2008
This is a beautiful book. Great coffee table item. It is a gift for someone else, otherwise I would consider cutting it up and framing the images.
On a side note, I ordered from Amazon (not a seller on Amazon, Amazon itself) and it took FOREVER to get and the cover was creased. Blah!
 Trees June 15, 2007
Photographs show great composition. From a stand of pines to a stark leafless oak these photos preserve the visage of trees in every form and season.
Ansel Adams: Trees by Ansel Adams January 3, 2007
Wonderful book. It again shows the art and skill of Mr. Adam's talent. This book is a great addition to all that enjoy trees, photography, landscapes, and beauty. Worth every cent!
Brilliant Pictures, Insightful Text, Impeccable Printing October 12, 2004
25 out of 26 found this review helpful
I really, really don't understand how a person can see so much out of so little. There's a tree right outside my window. It looks like a tree, seen one seen all of them. But Ansel Adams didn't just see a tree.
Sure he saw a tree. But he also saw its shape, the texture of its bark, it's setting, perhaps the brook flowing by, or the mist or the clouds, maybe the mountain in the background. And the timing. This picture has the sun directly behind the trunk of the tree so it's almost just an outline. That picture was taken at dawn so the light would be just so, and the mist not quite gone. This grove of trees are all tall and straight, that single Jeffrey Pine growing out of the rocks in Yosemite is twisted and deformed by the wind.
You know what to expect of an Ansel Adams book. Black and White photographs carefully selected, merged with insightful text, printed (in Germany) with impeccable quality -- What more can I say.
