Idaho Discovered

Book Description
Within its borders, Idaho is a land of extremes. From desert moonscape to towering peaks that spawn a thousand rivers; from urban sprawl to places scarcely trod by humankind. It's a
young land, where antiques are only fifty years old. Its mountains are so young they periodically remind us of their growing pains. Much of Idaho is best described as, "You can't
get there from here." We are as back woods as it gets where we touch the Canadian border, and in our capital city, as urbane as we wish to be.

Within its borders, Idaho is a land of extremes. From desert moonscape to towering peaks that spawn a thousand rivers; from urban sprawl to places scarcely trod by humankind. It's a young land, where antiques are only fifty years old. Its mountains are so young they periodically remind us of their growing pains. Much of Idaho is best described as, "You can't get there from here." We are as back woods as it gets where we touch the Canadian border, and in our capitol city, as urbane as we wish to be. It is, by and large, still pure, still innocent, still wild – full of wonder and the unexpected.
Kirk Anderson voyaged Idaho's every crevice to discover this untamed country through his photography. This collection equally represents every region of the state, with images that capture the light and color of Idaho's unique scenery. Anderson's inspiration is found in the elements of nature, and his spectacular photography is the reward of his skill and patience while waiting for light, seasons, and weather to work their magic.
